If you like this type of book then you might enjoy Maggie O'Farrell's [[After You'd Gone]]. It's also a debut novel but the plotting is better and there's a surer touch with characterisation.

|comment= Couldn't disagree more with above review.For apt enthusiatic reviews and increduality that this is a first novel see THE GUARDIAN, THE INDEPENDENT,and TIME OUT LONDON.Note prizes awarded to a novel about long marriages tested in a Carribean cruise of heart- breaking consequence and redemption of a bittersweet kind. I wept.
