Win a signed copy of Ripeness by Sarah Moss and a 3-month pasta subscription

From the Sunday Times bestselling author Sarah Moss, Ripeness is an extraordinary novel about familial love and what it is to have somewhere to belong.

It's the 1960s and, just out of school, Edith finds herself travelling to rural Italy. She has been sent by her mother with strict instructions: to see her sister, ballet dancer Lydia, through the final weeks of her pregnancy then make a phone call which will seal this baby's fate, and his mother's.

Decades later, Edith is living in contentment and comfort in Ireland. When her best friend Méabh receives a call from a man claiming to be her brother, she finds herself plunged back into her past and the story of the baby she once knew and loved.

To celebrate the arrival of this delicious new novel from the author of Summerwater, we're thrilled to give one reader the chance to win a mouth-watering prize: a signed copy of Ripeness and a 3-month subscription to Nonna Tonda – that's two portions of fresh pasta and sauces delivered to your door each week (UK only) – or, if you're in Ireland, a delectable gourmet Italian hamper from Donnybrook Fair.

10 runners-up will each receive a signed copy of Ripeness.
