Description
David Nicholls brings wit and intelligence to a new novel about what holds marriages and families together, and what happens when everything threatens to fall apart. Douglas Petersen's life is comfortable, but he's not sure if it's enough. His wife, Connie, has announced she wants a divorce, and he's determined to change her mind.
A month-long tour of European capitals is planned, a chance for the family to experience the world's greatest works of art together. Douglas hopes it will rekindle the romance in their marriage and help him bond with his moody 17-year-old son, Albie. As they travel, Douglas reflects on the demands of marriage and parenthood, and the intricate relationship between the heart and the head.
