Is it ever too late to find the life you always wanted? A modern day Brief Encounter or The Bridges of Madison County, this is a novel which poses the ultimate romantic dilemma, from the bestselling author of The Pursuit of Happiness, A Special Relationship, and The Moment. Is it ever too late to have the life you wanted? Or do we owe it to ourselves to pursue the promise of happiness?
For twenty years, Laura has been a good wife and mother. She’s supported her husband through redundancy, she’s worried about her son, she’s encouraged her daughter. She has been constant, caring and selfless. She’s stopped thinking about her own dreams, the places she’d like to go and the books she’d like to talk about. But a chance meeting with a man in a hotel lobby – and the five days that follow – remind Laura of the young woman she used to be, and the woman she could have become. How long does it take to fall in love and leave your life behind?
State of the Union
Hannah Buchan thinks herself ordinary. She is not the revolutionary child that her painter mother and famous radical father had hoped for. Raised in thecreative chaos of 1960s America, Hannah vows to reject her parents’ liberal lifestyle, andsettles instead for typical family life in a nondescript corner of Maine. But normality isn’t quite what Hannah imagined it would to be, and try as she might to fight it, the urge to rebel against the things that hem her in grows ever stronger. Eventually, a series of encounters puts Hannah in an exhilarating but dangerous position – one in which she never thought she would find herself. For decades, this one transgression in an otherwise faultless life lies buried deep in the past, all but forgotten – until a turn of fate brings it crashing back into the limelight. As her secret emerges, Hannah’s life goes into freefall and she is left struggling against the force of the past. State of the Union is a stunning and grippingly honest story about life, love and family, set against the backdrop of two different but strikingly similar eras.
