Then she meets Adam: clever, witty and very slightly taller than the average British male, with a charming four-year-old daughter in tow. Over the next decade, they weather the glorious chaos of small children, school runs, and the minor warfare of a kitchen renovation - all against the surreal theatre of British politics. But when they resurface, something is missing from the life Coralie and Adam have built. Or maybe, having gained everything she dreamed of, Coralie has lost something she once had: herself. ***'Sweet and tender' PANDORA SYKES'Ringingly original and just absurdly good' CATHERINE NEWMAN, New York Times bestselling author of WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS'I'm annoyed I didn't write this book myself' MADELEINE GRAY, author of GREEN DOT`So astonishingly clever, but with a core of love.
