David Nicholls

Douglas is secretly convinced that this trip and sightseeing will rekindle the romance in his marriage, and maybe even help him bond with Albie.

David Nicholls brings the wit and intelligence that graced his worldwide New York Times bestseller, One Day, to an irresistibly warm and human, deftly told new novel about what keeps marriages and families together—both what happens and what we learn about ourselves. when everything threatens to fall apart. Douglas Petersen may be mild-mannered and above all polite, but behind his restraint hides a sense of humor with which, contrary to all expectations, he seduces the beautiful Connie and she agrees to a second date... and eventually to marriage. Now, almost three decades after their relationship blossomed in London, they live in the suburbs more or less happily with their moody seventeen-year-old son, Albie. And then Connie tells him she thinks she wants a divorce. She couldn't have picked a worse moment. Wanting to stimulate her son's interest in art, Connie planned a month-long trip around European metropolises, offering him the opportunity to see the greatest works of world art under the auspices of her family, and now she can't bring herself to cancel it all. And maybe it's actually best for everyone to stick with their original plan?

Penelope Ward, Vi Keeland

Typical of Ward and Keeland: emotional, entertaining, with an unavoidable single father, smoldering romances, humor, steamy scenes, and a happy ending. A book about opposites complementing each other and the power of love to heal wounds.
