When Lucy discovered that her charming, cheating husband was dying, she came home, opened up his little black book, and decided she wasnβt going through this alone. After all, Artieβs sweethearts were there for the good timesβis it fair that Lucy should have to manage the hard times herself? In this wise, wickedly funny new novel, Lucy dials up the women in Artieβs black book and invites them for one last visit. The last thing she expects is that any will actually show up.
But one by one, they do show up: The one who hates him. The one who owes her life to him. The one he turned into a lesbian, and the one he taught to dance. And among them is a visitor with the strangest story of all: the young man who may or may not be Artieβs long-lost son.
For Lucy, the jaw-dropping procession of women is an education in the man she canβt forgive and couldnβt leave. And as the women find themselves sharing secrets and sharing tears, they start to discover kindred spiritsβand even something thatβs a lot like family. But Lucy knows one thing for certain: the biggest surprises are yet to comeβ¦.
Full of heart, Bridget Asherβs unforgettable novel is about mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and the deep friendships between women. Itβs about sweet liars and tenderhearted cheatersβabout loving those we love for reasons we canβt always fully rationalize, and about the sort of forgiveness that can change someoneβs entire life in the most unexpected and extraordinary ways.
