Matilda Tristram was looking forward to having her first baby when she was suddenly diagnosed with cancer.

Probably Nothing records how she saw through the long slog of chemotherapy with humour and determination. The hopes and fears. The awkward conversations with friends and well-wishers. The irritation of still having to queue for croissants. She celebrates everything there is to live for and laugh about – and, of course, the birth of her son, James.

Probably Nothing will be published by Penguin from 7th August 2014.

Matilda Tristram is represented by Elinor Cooper.
