___________
'Myself and Hugh . . . We're taking a break.'
'A city-with-fancy-food sort of break?'
If only.
Amy's husband Hugh says he isn't leaving her.
He still loves her, he's just taking a break - from their marriage, their children and, most of all, from their life together.
Six months in South-East Asia. And nothing she says can stop him.
But when does a break become a break-up?
A lot can happen in six months. And it's enough to send Amy and her family of gossips, misfits and troublemakers teetering over the edge.
When Hugh returns, if he returns, will he be the same man she married?
Will Amy be the same woman?
Because if Hugh is on a break from their marriage, then . . . isn't she on one too?

Customer Reviews
Loved it!
Brilliant, funny and sad at the same time!
Entertaining and wise!
I love Marion Keyes. Never met her and never will but love her all the same. Her characters are familiar and irreverent. Her commentary on life, as she knows it, is bang on at least as far as life is, as I know it. Keep writing, Marion. You make this menopausal, retired teacher laugh out loud!
Good but dragged out.
Like all Marian Keyes novels, I love her sense of humour and this novel didn’t disappoint. I feel that the last 5 chapters just dragged on. Overall a nice, light read that will make you cry, laugh and be angry.
