He was an exuberant undisciplined mutt, with a heap of attitude. His white and black coat had passers-by pointing and laughing. It looked like a mosaic of tiles that had been smashed, then re-assembled. A bit like her life really. And somehow she has to piece it all back together. Only then might she understand why it fell apart in the first place. (Source: Trove)

'Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, this brilliant novel from Madeleine St John, author of The Women in Black, is a comic and tender look at the vicissitudes of love and relationships.

'Nicola should never have stepped out to buy that pack of cigarettes, because the man she discovers in her living room when she returns is not the adorable, straightforward, devoted Jonathan with whom she has been sharing her life.

'That Jonathan would never have unilaterally decided that she should, as he abruptly put it, ‘move out’.

'A shocked Nicola packs her bags and sets out bravely on the bumpy course that will take her from the end of an affair to the essence of the thing.' (Publication summary : Text Classics)
