Description:This time Madeline has no-one else to blame. She did it all by herself. She had an affair and ruined her marriage.
As she finds herself abandoned by both her husband and her lover, she tries to pick up the pieces, find a job, bring up her twelve-year-old and lie in the bed she made in a tiny apartment so far away from her easy ex-life that it is as though it never happened.
Yeah. If only her three girlfriends let her wallow in self pity.
One night, several bottles of wine past mature women o'clock, they come up with a devilish plan to inject some joy into Maddie's life. And this has nothing to do with Natalie's cosmetic injections, Izzy's sharp business decisions or Joanna's nurturing nature.
As Christmas approaches Maddie secretly hopes for a new beginning. Maddie from Green Gables of London, she sometimes mutters, a hopeless romantic at heart and Joseph Brodsky's poetry lover.
As things take an unexpected turn, once again, she has to make the journey not just to Wales but to her true emotions.
Rebecca Malin wrote a book to remember. Witty and clever. Sassy and poignant. A laugh out loud and laugh through tears novel about a midlife storm which breaks up the sky only to let the new light through.
