Three Days in June Signed Edition

‘A joy to read in a single relaxing afternoon’ JACQUELINE WILSON ** 'This is story-telling at its very best' RACHEL JOYCE ** 'I devoured it in one long lazy afternoon - I laughed and cried' VICTORIA HISLOP **

The happily ever after is only part of the story…A funny, touching, hopeful gem about love, marriage and second chances

It’s the day before her daughter’s wedding and things are not going well for Gail Baines. First thing, she loses her job – or quits, depending who you ask. Then her ex-husband Max turns up at her door expecting to stay for the festivities. He doesn’t even have a suit. Instead, he’s brought memories, a shared sense of humour – and a cat looking for a new home.

Just as Gail is wondering what’s next, their daughter Debbie discovers her groom has been keeping a secret…

As the big day dawns, the exes just can’t agree on what’s best for Debbie. Gail is seriously worried, while Max seems more concerned with whether to opt for the salmon or prime rib at the reception, if they make it that far.

The day after the wedding, Gail and Max prepare to go their separate ways again. But all the questions about the future of the happy couple have stirred up the past for Gail. Because ‘happy’ takes many forms, and sometimes the younger generation has much to teach the older about secrets, acceptance and taking the rough with the smooth.

'Clear-eyed, out-and-out funny and a cause for celebration' RACHEL JOYCE

'I laughed and cried - and some of the tears were just for the sheer brilliance of her writing. She is truly extraordinary. I wanted it to go on and on, but that was the beauty of it too. The brevity and the economy . . . there is almost no greater pleasure than reading Anne Tyler' VICTORIA HISLOP

'Three Days in June has all her trademark wry humour and brilliant observation, brought together with her immaculate technique. It’s full of love, and that can never be beaten' ELIZABETH BUCHAN

'If Anne Tyler isn’t the best writer in the world, who is?' BBC R4 WOMAN'S HOUR
