This book is about a man who has two families and I think the title has something to do with happiness [s]

[Ruth]

Don't know anything more than someone told me the title which I promptly forgot and said it's about a man who has two families who don't know about each other.

Fiction or nonfiction? When did you hear about it? What country is he in, what era?

[Ruth]

It’s fiction, but that’s all I know. I think it’s set in the U.S. and is a modern-day story.

[``Laurie]

The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve?

[Ruth]

No, it’s not the pilot’s wife. Thanks for trying to help.

[``Laurie]

Good luck finding this book Ruth.

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

Do you have any sense of when the book was published?

[Ruth]

No, sorry, I don’t.

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

The Aviator's Wife? A fictionalization of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's life, whose husband had a secret family on the side.

[Ruth]

No, that’s not it, but thanks. The title sounds like everyone is happy, but it’s clearly not that way.

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

So we can rule out The Ashford Affair then.

I just learned from another source that it’s Lucky Us, by Amy Bloom. Thanks to all for your help.
