Hot on the heels of her No.1 bestseller 'Marble Gardens', this much-loved, and Orange Prize-shortlisted author brings us a page-turning novel about infidelity, strength, and what makes us happy.
Three marriages, three friendships, and a summer that changes them all . . .
The tension is palpable as Tess and Jerry Brennan wait for the police to arrive. Their family lives, friendships, even their marriage, are in freefall.
Jerry has been caught in a misdemeanour which will mean the end of a successful career, while Tess did not foresee the devastating consequences of her own actions, however innocently undertaken. To add to her distress, her two best friends are likewise shocked.
Big, warm-hearted Rita, having enjoyed a seemingly unassailable relationship with her doting Ricky, is reeling; Maddy is struggling with alcohol in an attempt to cope with the behaviour of her husband, a TV soap star.
Life had skated along for the three couples and their assorted offspring until last summer, when they all travelled to the heavenly village of Collioure in the south of France . . .
