Notes On A Marriage

Fans of Marian Keyes, Elizabeth Gilbert and Helen Fielding will find themselves nodding along to this portrait of a middle-aged woman emerging from the ruins of one life, and starting over again.

___________

'After twenty-five years my marriage just blew up in my face. On a good day, I take a sledgehammer to my house between swigs of white wine. I'm a total mess.'

Diane's humiliation comes thick and fast. For starters, her husband is having an affair with a younger woman. Of course he is. But what's worse is that he's blaming her. 'You've become boring,' he says.

And that's that.

Or is it?

With the help of her best friend, Claudine, Diane embarks on a journey to discover a new life.

Witty, sharp and emotionally rich, this is a story about freedom and identity and how it's never too late to put yourself first.
