Amy Bartlett's husband, Hugh, tells her he needs a break from their marriage, six months in which he can do whatever he likes, with no responsibilities. Amy, a mother in Dublin, is shocked, but she agrees to the terms and decides to make the best of it. As the months unfold, she faces her family's and friends' reactions, her own anger, and some surprising new possibilities, and has to decide what she wants once the break ends.
It is for fans of Marian Keyes who like humor mixed with real emotional questions, and for readers who like stories about marriage and independence. It is a long, warm read told with a lively voice.
Inward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
