The Trouble with Marriage - Debby Holt

‘Nobody ever tells you how difficult it is to make a marriage work.’

When Robin asked Tilly to marry him, it was the happiest moment of her life. Ten years on, the sparkle has faded – household bills, household chores, two small children and a boisterous dog have seen to that – but Tilly is convinced their love can survive even the attentions of interfering in-laws and a glamorous ex-girlfriend.

When dramatic news ignites the simmering undercurrents into a full-blown crisis, Tilly is forced to face the fact that her marriage is under threat. Can she and Robin find a way to recapture the love, lust and sense of fun that filled their early years together? Can Tilly find the strength to overcome the obstacles in the path of true happiness? And when temptation arises in an unexpected form – can she, should she – find the will to resist…?

Hilarious and heartbreaking in turn, Debby Holt’s delicious new novel explores with coruscating honesty what happens after the ‘happy ever after’.
