The bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel "marries comedy and canniness into a novel that's warm, tolerant, shrewd and exuberant" ( The Sunday Times). The demise of Russell Buffery's latest marriage has put the sixty-one-year-old actor in a reflective mood. After all, his three ex-wives--the journalist, the new-age housewife, the antique dealer--have easily found their way without "Buffy", and his connections to his children are tenuous at best. Spurned and alone, he still wonders where it all went wrong. Until he meets Celeste . . . Only twenty-three and new to London, the fresh-faced young woman has given Buffy, the hopeless romantic, a new lease on life. But, unknown to Buffy, Celeste has her own agenda. She begins to delve into his past, but discovering each ex-wife leads to another one--not to mention the women on the side. And though Celeste may be in over her head, what is revealed to her will transform her life--and give both her and Buffy a chance to get it right this time around.
