When her husband Kurt is sent on an overseas assignment, scientist Bea Hudson’s just-about-holding-together life starts to unravel. Bea’s best friend Maddie steps in to help look after the couple’s five-year-old, Fran. But Bea starts to suspect that Maddie – who yearns for a child of her own – is becoming far too attached to Fran. Meanwhile, Kurt suspects Bea is having an affair with Maddie…
A poignant, page-turning, darkly humorous novel about love and relationships in middle age.

“I read most of the book with a smile on my face; a fabulous bit of feel-good fiction… I frequently laughed out loud, mainly at Katie’s journal as she looked after four-year-old Fran, aka Little Fiend.
