The bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel "marries
comedy and canniness into a novel that's warm, tolerant, shrewd and
exuberant" (The Sunday Times).
The demise of Russell Buffery's latest marriage has put the
sixty-one-year-old actor in a reflective mood. After all, his three
ex-wives--the journalist, the new-age housewife, the antique
dealer--have easily found their way without "Buffy", and his connections
to his children are tenuous at best. Spurned and alone, he still wonders
where it all went wrong. Until he meets Celeste . . .
Only twenty-three and new to London, the fresh-faced young woman has
given Buffy, the hopeless romantic, a new lease on life. But, unknown to
Buffy, Celeste has her own agenda. She begins to delve into his past,
but discovering each ex-wife leads to another one--not to mention the
women on the side. And though Celeste may be in over her head, what is
revealed to her will transform her life--and give both her and Buffy a
chance to get it right this time around.
