Publisher's Summary
Where do you run when your heart's breaking all the rules?
When pillar-of-the-community Harry Stewart dies of a sudden heart attack, the whole village is devastated - except for his wife Karen, the only one who really knew the abusive alcoholic Harry had become.
Suddenly freed from this oppressive marriage, Karen is nonetheless wracked with guilt about the circumstances of her husband's death, and sees the presence of her spoiled step-daughter, Sophie, as a suitable purgatory. Her only comfort in her grief and isolation is William, the sympathetic local vicar.
As Karen shares her secret, William's listening ear soon becomes a shoulder to cry on, and before long, Karen realizes she is falling in love. But William has a wife and teenage daughter, not to mention a parish to watch over - and be watched by.
As the pressure becomes too much to bear, Karen flees to the seaside and to Mike Best's beach café. But when William suddenly turns up again in her life, can they persuade each other to take one final leap of faith together?
What the critics say
"A poignant portrait of a stale marriage and the ties that bind couples together." (Chicklit Club)
"A sincere tale of late-in-life love.... Boyd's delicate rendering of Jeanie's interior grounds the novel, and readers will root for her to finally get her own.... A poignant love story featuring refreshing characters in their 60s." (Kirkus Reviews)
