JOJO MOYES

Douglas and Connie - scientist and artist, husband and wife - live a quiet and quietly unremarkable life in the suburbs of London. Until, suddenly, after more than twenty years of marriage, Connie decides she wants a divorce.

Heartbroken but determined, Douglas comes up with the perfect plan: he is going to win back the love of his wife and the respect of Albie, their teenage son, by organising the holiday of a lifetime.

The hotels are booked, the tickets bought, the itinerary planned and printed.

What could possibly go wrong?

Beautiful, moving, and gripping

I loved this immensely! My first David Nicholls book I’ve read and I was hooked from the first page to the last. Read it in just two days. It was an emotional and relatable story on many levels. Looking forward to reading more by him soon.

Beautifully written if a little melancholic. This novel took a bit longer to sink into than "One Day" but once your are taking in, you cannot but it down. The play between the characters is smart and sensitive, the complexities of modern life beautifully portrayed.
