About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
It might not be the stuff of dreams, but Padma and Wallace have spent ten years building a relationship that feels . . . fine. Until Wallace gives Padma an ultimatum about starting a family she's not sure she even wants.
Padma's fifteen-year-old niece Myra is reaching her own crisis point. When she falls in with the wrong crowd and her life ends up in danger, it's the final straw for her parents.
Now Padma will spend the summer with her niece - in a ramshackle, ivy-clad house on the Kent clifftops - running a DIY rehab of sorts.
Will this be a pressure too far for her and Wallace? And how will she spend six weeks with a niece who, thanks to her sister, she barely knows?
It's the last place they want to be.
But this could just be the summer that changes everything . . .

Love it!
I discovered Poorna Bell via her Substack and I loved “In Case of Emergency” and this novel is even better. Her writing is always beautiful, such a way with words! I can’t wait for her next novel and I need to read her nonfiction. I plan to buy the hardcover of this book now as a sort of masterclass for my own writing. Such an amazing listen/read. Highly recommend.

This book made me feel so seen!
Bereft after finishing this book.
Poorna has created the most real and magical universe all at the same time.
This is one for fellow cycle breakers, those who choose to be childiree and for those who want a read (or a listen) they won't want to put down.
