Lauren Groff's Fates and Furies meets Rachel Cusk's The Lucky Ones in this astounding debut novel about a woman on the verge of infidelity.

Tessa is a thirty-seven-year-old real estate agent living in Montreal. She adores her husband and three young sons, but she's deeply unhappy and questioning the set of choices that have led to her present life.

After a surprising run-in with Francis, her ex-boyfriend and first love, Tessa arranges to see him. During the three days before their meeting, she goes about her daily life — there's swimming lessons, science projects, and dirty dishes. As the day of her meeting with Francis draws closer she has to decide if she is willing to disrupt her stable, loving family life for an uncertain future with him.

With startling clarity and emotional force, Fanny Britt gives us a complex portrait of a woman and a marriage from the inside out.

Industry Reviews

Britt's novel is an unflinching reminder that heartbreak doesn't discriminate... . Britt reveals, moment by moment, the lifetime of a woman caught between the expectations of motherhood and personal fulfillment. * Metro *
Britt is especially strong at capturing the hyper-vulnerability a mother can feel on behalf of her children . . . In capturing and sustaining that intense emotional pitch, the novel is spiritual kin to Ann-Marie MacDonald's Adult Onset and Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk About Kevin . . . Translators Susan Ouriou and Christelle Morelli do an exemplary job of rendering Britt's prose crisply and idiomatically. * Montreal Gazette *
