About this ebook
Ash has just got divorced from the caring, sweet, endlessly reasonable husband she may secretly still be half in love with. The reasons why she wanted to drive him away are not clear, even to herself. But her days are busy. She has moved in to the New York apartment of her ageing parents to help care for them, especially her mother who is fading fast. Quirky, downright stubborn and often infuriating, Ash's parents are also delightful in their strange ways and their love for each other and Ash realises this time with them both is precious.
