About this listen

'Warm, wise, witty, and just plain fun' Maggie Shipstead

At a perfectly ordinary cocktail party, Francis is introduced to Billy and—although it slips right by him at the time—he falls in love with her at once.

Billy is a serious, often glum person. An economic historian, she is indifferent to a great many things (clothes, food, home décor), frowns easily and is frequently irritated.

Francis is older. He likes routine and a well-run household; he likes to pay for dinner, open car doors and call Billy at night to make sure she is safe.

Both are happily married—but not to each other.

So begins a whirlwind love affair, perfectly captured in this frank, funny irresistible novel, from its fabulous inception to its inevitable end.

A W&N Essential with an introduction by Caroline O'Donoghue
