Always the Last To Know by Kristan Higgins

 
 

So this book, Always The Last To Know, has been described as having heart with humour.  I can agree with that.

 

Barb and John are long married.  Barb is unhappy.  She decides to leave after their 50^th anniversary.  But John has a stroke.

 

The story centres on what happens next.  They have 2 daughters who lead different lives and don't really understand each other.

 

It sort of all works out in the end – not perhaps as you might think…

 

This book was good enough that I went into the author's back catalogue to try another.
