Deset let lásky v jednom dni. Tom se vrací v předvečer 10. výročí domů, kde mu jeho žena Esme připravila překvapení. Romantická atmosféra, fotky, jídlo… a hra „Náš život v jednom dni“. Připravila kartičky s hodinami, kam má doplnit 24 nejdůležitějších okamžiků jejich vztahu. Hra má jediné pravidlo, okamžik se musí vztahovat k té určité hodině, která je na kartičce. Např. 3-4hod. Esme mě vyzvedla na Milton Keynes, protože jsem, já idiot, usnul ve vlaku. Tom ale není ze hry nadšený…
Dan and Anya Moorcroft have decided to get a divorce. Together, they've done it all. Two kids, three owned houses, four rented flats, fifty-something holidays, and one affair apiece. Now, after fifteen years together (nine of them married) they're on the brink. But as they go through couples' mediation, revisiting and rediscovering their shared history in sessions surrounded by lawyers and paperwork, are they about to find something that's worth saving? Or are they going to reaffirm their decision to end things for good? Each section of the book is a focus area for the divorce mediation process: sex, home, money, family, us. Through this, the novel explores how marriage is built on bonds between people and the experiences they share. It goes back in time to reveal Dan and Anya's past. And then returns to the present day as they work out their future.
Three estranged siblings are forced on a road trip together by their late father, whose dying wish is for them to journey to a Scottish Island to scatter his ashes. An emotional, funny and poignant story about a family torn apart and put back together again.
