Adventures of a Modern Marriage by William Nicholson

In a pretty Sussex village, Henry Broad, is trying to make sense of his life.  When you've put so much into your career, does the end of work mean the end of everything?

Laura, his wife, had decided on a self-reinvention, because change can still happen at any age.  

The Broad's neighbour, Liz is coming to terms with her mother's imminent death, while her husband, Alan is struggling with temptation.

Behind the calm facades, internal battles rage concerning love, sex, ambition, and what exactly these look like from the viewpoint of middle age.
