Is it ever too late to find the life you always wanted? A modern day Brief Encounter or The Bridges of Madison County, this is a novel which poses the ultimate romantic dilemma, from the bestselling author of The Pursuit of Happiness, A Special Relationship, and The Moment.
Is it ever too late to have the life you wanted? Or do we owe it to ourselves to pursue the promise of happiness?
For twenty years, Laura has been a good wife and mother. She's supported her husband through redundancy, she's worried about her son, she's encouraged her daughter. She has been constant, caring and selfless.
She's stopped thinking about her own dreams, the places she'd like to go and the books she'd like to talk about.
But a chance meeting with a man in a hotel lobby - and the five days that follow - remind Laura of the young woman she used to be, and the woman she could have become.
How long does it take to fall in love and leave your life behind?
