Three Days in June – A Witty, Heartfelt Novel About Love, Marriage & Second Chances by Anne Tyler
“A joy to read in a single relaxing afternoon.” – Jacqueline Wilson
“I devoured it in one long lazy afternoon – I laughed and cried.” – Victoria Hislop
“This is storytelling at its very best.” – Rachel JoyceThe happily ever after is only part of the story…
The day before her daughter’s wedding, Gail Baines is having an absolute disaster. First, she’s lost her job (or quit—it depends who you ask). Then, her ex-husband Max turns up expecting to stay for the wedding. He doesn’t even have a suit. Instead, he’s brought back old memories, their shared sense of humour—oh, and a cat in need of a home.
But just as Gail is wondering how she ended up in this mess, her daughter Debbie discovers that her fiancé has been keeping a secret…
As the big day looms, Gail and Max can’t agree on what’s best for Debbie. While Gail is worried sick, Max seems more interested in choosing between salmon or prime rib at the reception—assuming there even is a wedding.
The morning after, as they prepare to go their separate ways, Gail realises that all the questions about Debbie’s future have stirred up her own past. Because happiness takes many forms—and sometimes, the younger generation has a thing or two to teach their parents about love, secrets, and embracing life’s imperfections.
A funny, touching, and hopeful novel about family, love, and the possibilities of second chances.
