From the moment this clever novel begins, in media res, we’re reminded that life doesn’t always go according to plan – and often that’s where the magic happens. In this brilliant debut about failing marriages, strangers falling in love, two friends who embark on a catering business together, and the four wakes (yep, the funeral kind) that bring them all together, the adventures of Clare, Louise, and Chris are told in a tender and deeply moving way. The prose is beautifully crafted and paints a highly relatable picture of the way people can be brought together in even the most bemusing of circumstances. A truly delightful novel – I want to share it with all my friends.
