Just relishable. Thank God for the balm of good writing NIGELLA LAWSON A joy to read in a single relaxing afternoon JACQUELINE WILSON 'Razor sharp on family, love and marriage' DAVID NICHOLLS 'I devoured it in one long lazy afternoon - I laughed and cried' VICTORIA HISLOP The happily ever after is only part of the story A funny, touching, hopeful gem about love, marriage and second chances Its the day before her daughters wedding and things are not going well for Gail Baines. First thing, she loses her job or quits, depending who you ask. Then her ex-husband Max turns up at her door expecting to stay for the festivities. He doesnt even have a suit. Instead, hes brought memories, a shared sense of humour and a cat looking for a new home. Just as Gail is wondering whats next, their daughter Debbie discovers her groom has been keeping a secret As the big day dawns, the exes just cant agree on whats best for Debbie. Gail is seriously worried, while Max seems more concerned with whether to opt for the salmon or prime rib at the reception, if they make it that far. The day after the wedding, Gail and Max prepare to go their separate ways again. But all the questions about the future of the happy couple have stirred up the past for Gail. Because happy takes many forms, and sometimes the younger generation has much to teach the older about secrets, acceptance and taking the rough with the smooth. 'Clear-eyed, out-and-out funny and a cause for celebration' RACHEL JOYCE 'Three Days in June has all her trademark wry humour and brilliant observation, brought together with her immaculate technique. Its full of love, and that can never be beaten' ELIZABETH BUCHAN 'If Anne Tyler isnt the best writer in the world, who is?' BBC R4 WOMAN'S HOUR 'Anne Tyler really is the best' GRAHAM NORTON 'Our greatest chronicler of family life' DAILY MAIL 'Nobody does it better' VOGUE
