She is devastated and realizes then that Bill is having an affair with one of his assistants.

In the meantime Lara has just met Dan Holland, who is 32 to her 45, she decides to take him on the holiday to France with her. They have a disastrous start to their trip and this makes her look back on her honeymoon and as she does she remembers that it was not the great vacation that she had remembered. This trip too has it’s up and downs, towards the end of the trip Dan finds out this was to have been a honeymoon trip and Lara’s husband turns up wanting her back.

Listening to this book to me was like taking a trip to France yourself, at times I could imagine myself in the places that they visited.
