The story about a marriage in crisis that you will not be able to put down


A beautiful, unforgettable story of love and second chances, for fans of The Paper Palace, Hello Beautiful and Tom Lake.

‘A fearless writer’ Lisa Taddeo

‘Compelling, touching, exquisitely crafted . . . I adored this story’ Liane Moriarty

----

Winter, upstate New York. Outside the Half Moon bar, a blizzard is raging. Inside, bartender Malcolm and his wife Jess are coming face to face for the first time in four months.

Malcolm never understood why Jess packed up and left him suddenly, without explanation. Meanwhile, Jess always loved Malcolm, but when forced to choose between her husband’s dreams and her desire to have a family, she found herself slipping away.

Now, trapped in the empty bar as the snow piles up outside, they must confront the secrets and small betrayals that brought their marriage to this point.

‘Such a delicate story about the real heartbreaks of life’ Claire Daverley, author of Talking at Night

‘One of our finest writers on the interior complexities of marriage and family. I ran my finger over sentences while reading, thinking: Yes, exactly’ Ann Napolitano, author of Hello Beautiful
