Description

A portrait of a marriage with more problems than most; less than a month after their wedding, Ross is responsible for a car accident which leaves his new wife paralysed. It's a novel about infidelity - the wife's; guilt - the husband's; food; sex and trust; a funny, clever and bold investigation of things we hope we'll never experience, and things we cannot avoid.

Reviews

Explicit, funny and touching Adderson does it so well that few could match [her] for skill and wisdom elegant, snappy, beautifully crafted - Independent on Sunday

Adderson writes very well plenty of humour a satisfying, moving read - Julia Darling

an intense high of love, lust and limitless promise...sublime...Adderson's first novel brought her prizes and accolades as one of Canada's most promising writers. Her second novel delivers handsomely on that promise. Cadence and pacing are sure-footed, dialogue is pitch-perfect, the unfolding story utterly absorbing. This is a writer with all the talents required to keep on delivering - Quill and Quire
