Book Synopsis

The author of The Most Fun We Ever Had returns with a brilliantly observed family drama, in which a long marriage faces imminent derailment from events both past and present


''I finished this wonderful book in floods of tears. What a joy to let a writer of such talent suffuse us with a life''s worth of humour and pain, affection and mess'' Jessie Burton

''Witty and insightful. A powerful exploration of marriage, motherhood and self'' Bonnie Garmus

''One of those big, grown-up existential novels about parenthood and marriage and teenagers and friendship and family life . . . Both easy reading and profound at the same time, all of it cleverly brushed with wit and humour'' Matt Haig

At fifty-seven, Julia Ames has found herself with an improbably lovely life. Despite her inclination towards self-sabotage, she has a husband she loves, two happy children and a quiet, contented existence in the suburbs.
