Jane Green

When Nan, a widow whose family has flown the nest, discovers that the money she thought would last forever is running out and she might lose her home, she knows it's time for a drastic change.

Love is not an abstract idea. It is not saying, 'I'm here for you, let me know if you need me'. It's making the decision, when someone close to you is in trouble, about what you will do to fix as much as you can for them. It's a 'doing' thing. A verb.

The other woman is not a mistress, but Linda, Dan's mother. She took over organising Dan and Ellie's wedding, but that was a rehearsal - now that Ellie is pregnant she wants to take over completely. How can Ellie and Dan get their lives back?
