Po dlouhém a na první pohled šťastném manželství je Louisa v šoku: její muž Kip jí zničehonic oznámí, že se chce rozvést. Nikdy nepůsobil nespokojeně – a společně vychovali tři děti.

A zatímco Louisa spřádá nové plány, Kip brzy zjistí, že vysněný život nemusí být zdaleka tak jednoduchý, jak si představoval…

Ellen has been living on her own in a picturesque if damp cottage in Cheshire since her husband abandoned her to go and live with another woman in Provence.

But, as hostility gives way to friendship, Ellen realises that she has wavered off course from her original plan and has to remind herself very strongly indeed that Duncan is the man for her...
