Funny and moving' Wendy Holden
Meet Harriet Carew, mother of three, juggler of work, home and family - and trapped in an unending cycle of keeping up with the Joneses.
She's married to a writer with a starry past and a humdrum present. As the credit crunch really starts to bite, they're sliding down the ladder of fortune and happiness.
Enter James Weston, the dashing ex she ditched when she was eighteen, and hasn't seen since. He's now a millionaire, recently divorced and keen to reminisce about the past. And, it seems, plan for a future with her in it. It's very tempting - but the past is over and done with and should be left well alone.
Shouldn't it?
