When Ali and Ed Kingston decide to go their separate ways after Ali's brief encounter with a much younger street artist, their friends and family will stop at nothing to see them reunited, in a wickedly funny novel of temptation and midlife crises. Original.

Carole Matthews believes everyone should reinvent themselves every ten years in order to keep young. Carole has taken this to extremes: secretary, aroma therapist, TV presenter and now a bestselling writer.
She describes herself as a typical Gemini--daydreamer and realist--whose passions include cooking, Tai Chi, dance, fast cars, cycling, gardening and travel. Carole is a self-confessed evening class-aholic and dedicated film fan who follows Feng Shui and horoscopes when all else fails.
In between all this, she also finds time to write hugely entertaining novels and scripts for television and film. Not surprisingly, she is a stranger to housework.
Carole lives near London, England, with her laid-back boyfriend and irascible cat.
Ali is idly drinking a cup of coffee when she notices a handsome young stranger sketching her. Christian, who at 23 is 15 years younger than Ali, is immediately smitten, and begins pursuing her. Ali's husband, Ed, a producer for a video company, has been less than attentive lately, and she finds herself drawn to Christian. What Ali doesn't suspect is that a (mostly) innocent afternoon in the park with Christian will lead to Ed's throwing her out of the house. Christian is more than happy to invite her to live with him, but is it what Ali really wants? Meanwhile, Ed, no longer sure of his hasty decision to throw Ali out, is contending with the romantic overtures of two younger women. Matthews, author of the popular For Better, For Worse (2002), scores again with this charming comedy. Kristine Huntley
