About This Item
Hardback. New. <b>âSuch a lovely, funny read. Smart, witty and full of heart.â Ruth Jones</b><p><b>Natalie and Carl are newlyweds, but the honeymoon period is over already.</b><br />Carl has just announced he has bought their first home at auction without telling Natalie where it is, never mind showing her a picture of it.</p><p>Natalie is horrified to discover that the dream home is in Little Wyford, mere minutes away from Carlâs ex-wife Antonia. And to make matters worse, Antoniaâs palatial country mansion has a fully-functioning roof (and a heated swimming pool!), unlike the ramshackle cottage Carl has bought for themâ¦</p><p>Antonia is Little Wyfordâs Queen Bee, mistress of the book club, organiser of the Christmas Fair and leader of the ladies-who-lunch. No matter how hard she tries, Natalie just doesnât fit in, and when Antonia insists on referring to Carl as âOur Husbandâ, Natalieâs dreams of happily-ever-after take another nose dive.</p><p>Second-hand furniture has much to recommend it, especially when doing up a country cottage, second-hand clothes can be ever-so chic, but second-hand husbands are proving to be a very bad idea indeed⦠Can Natalie ever escape the label of Wife Number Two or is she destined to share her husband forever?</p><p><b>Hilariously funny</b>, <b>wickedly witty</b>, but with a heart of gold and a <b>warmth and wisdom</b> that are all its own, A<i> Second-Hand Husband</i> is Claire Calmanâs tour de force. </p>'So engrossing, youâll read until four in the morning!' Jilly Cooper 'With her trademark warmth and wit, Calman unpacks the secrets everyone is keeping' Wendy Holden <p></p><p><b>Praise for Claire Calman:</b></p><p><b>'</b>Donât take this hilarious, touching and very clever novel to bed if youâve got to rise very early the next day, because it is so engrossing, youâll read until four in the morning. Claire Calmanâs plot twists and turns with endless surprises...' <i>Jilly Cooper</i></p><p><i>'</i>I really, really enjoyed it â I devoured it over four nights. Such a lovely, funny read. Smart, witty and full of heart. The characters were so well defined â I felt I knew them intimately. And the cottage and the pond and village â all the locations in fact were so beautifully depicted, I was completely transported there!<i> </i>But also the dialogue was a joy and such great humour - I laughed out loud on many occasions.' <i>Ruth Jones</i></p><p>'A beautifully observed tale of new love and blending families, with a heroine I was rooting for from the very first page.' <i>Shari Low </i>on <i>A Second-Hand Husband</i><b></b></p><p>'A beautiful book, so compassionate... and ultimately very hopeful. I enjoyed it hugely.â <i>Marian Keyes</i></p><p>âA clever, bittersweet, uplifting novelâ <i>Sophie Kinsella</i><br /><br />'Writing with proper heart' <i>Rachel Joyce</i></p><p>'The characterisation is brilliant, and the astute storytelling, punctuated by stiletto-sharp wit, produces an effervescent and spirit-lifting story.' <i>Sunday Mirror</i><br /><br />'A poignant and beautifully articulated tale of love and loss, memory and forgetting, grief and guilt, new love and letting go. I was engrossed, often tearful, and finally, uplifted.â <i>Isobel Wolff</i><br /><br />âSimply wonderful. I was totally enchanted, devoured it in a day, and have been raving about it ever since.â <i>Fiona Walker</i></p>
