Why is Martha – on the edge of 40 – friendless, practically jobless and so often sad? And why did Patrick decide to leave? A gift, her mother once said, not everybody gets. ![]() Buy this book from or .uk to support The Reading Agency and local bookshops at no additional cost to you.Įveryone tells Martha Friel she is clever and beautiful, a brilliant writer who has been loved every day of her adult life by one man, her husband Patrick. ![]()
