“A tale of self-doubt, adultery and forgiveness shot through with humour and compassion. A most enjoyable read.” David Lister, The Independent
Liz has no idea why she walked out on Hugh. Hugh has no idea why Liz walked out on him. Is she having a midlife crisis? Should he be having one, too? Oh dear - marriage! Just when you think life is sorted ...
When Liz flees their comfortable family home in Cambridge after twenty-three years of contented marriage, a baffled Hugh is left to figure out why his wife has abandoned him.
A succession of twists and turns are preventing a restoration to the normality that the couple increasingly crave as their children, parents and friends discover that immaturity is not solely the preserve of the young.
A satirical novel about the fragility of even the most robust relationships.
“Warm, witty, poignant…characters that stay with you.” June Flath, author of A Secret Affair and Lost and Found
“An insightful and enjoyable novel about relationships and life’s changes. Lovely!” EmmabBooks
“Modern life is captured in a completely recognizable way, the style is accessible, vivid and entertaining. Best bit of fiction I've read on this theme.”
“Laugh out loud funny and completely moving at the same time.”
