My thoughts: marriage can be difficult, and once trust is lost, it’s very hard to get back, as Libby and Will learn in this book. After their honeymoon in Venice, Will promises to bring his wife back to the city for their 25th anniversary.
Twenty-five years later things are very different, they have two children, and a struggling business inherited from Will’s dad. Venice might not be possible. But Will insists he can make it happen, and does something that will send shockwaves through his life.
As Libby struggles to come to terms with what he’s done, and tries to rebuild her life, she wonders if she might have lost everything. Another trip to Venice, this time alone, might yield some clarity.
A fascinating and charming look at marriage and its many ups and downs with a cast of characters that feel like you know them.
