Soft Touch

"Comic, poignant and thought-provoking." MARIAN KEYS "...Haran pinpoints the pained wilderness of liberal parenthood." GOOD HOUSEKEEPING Pretty, well-balanced Rachel used to be every mother's dream. Now she's every mother's nightmare. The reason? Sexy, sultry Marko, Mr Darcy with a nose stud. As Marko lures Rachel off to save a woodland and lose her virginity, her nice liberal mum, Catherine, wishes she could lock her in the bedroom, while Rachel's disapproving granny, Lavinia, decides on some far more dramatic action. In this war between the generations, all three women find their values - and their love lives - changed forever.
