Close family friends, the wives old school chums, the husbands good mates, the kids best friends; a nice, happy bunch of people until one of the wives has terminal cancer ... she asks her school chum to look on the internet to try and find a new wife for her husband once she is dead. It is then that the trouble begins. This is well thought-out, well written, bittersweet stuff that will make you both weep and laugh. A lovely read from an exciting new author. I look forward to her next.

For Fran that list would include her husband, Max, her daughter, and her best friend, Alison. Only Alison is now desperately ill and she needs Fran’s help. She wants to find her husband a new wife, and leave her young daughter with a new mother. Fran finds the whole idea deeply uncomfortable, but it’s hard to refuse your closest friend at the best of times, let alone ignore her dying wishes.
