THE best-selling author of The Reading Group returns with this retrospective, coming-ofage tale about 39-year-old Susannah, who is attending her brother’s wedding.
Reflecting on her own failed marriage and a childless relationship with her current partner as she leaves for the reception, Susannah unexpectedly comes face to face with her first love.
The reader is plunged back to the start of their relationship, with the story flitting between past and present.
We see Susannah in the mid-Eighties (worrying about exams, best friends and boys) and then wondering whether she should give her first love another chance, or stay in an apparently heartless relationship.
Just like reminiscing with your closest school friends, this book is perfect for a lazy summer’s day.
