Über dieses E-Book
'Funny and dark. Tender and tough. Uncanny and relatable.' Erin Kelly
'Deeply moving, simultaneously delicate yet hard-hitting' Claire Kilroy
'Blends comedy, drama and heartbreak' John Boyne
'A really clever novel' Cecelia Ahern
______________________________________________________________
On an ordinary morning in an ordinary house, a woman discovers a secret her husband has been keeping. It is a secret that explodes their marriage.
As Dolores grapples with her new reality, she unwillingly delves into her past to work out how she got here, unpicking the seams of the relationships that have built her. She's a sister, a daughter, a wife, a teacher. How much does her past have to influence her present? Can't she just forgive and forget?
And most importantly: what is a woman for, anyway?
