Meredith Jaffe – The Tricky Art of Forgiveness

Genre:
Author:

Diana Forsyth is in the midst of planning the Big Party, a combined celebration of her husband Will’s 60th and their 30th wedding anniversary. The whole family is flying in and unbeknownst to Will, Diana is planning a Big Surprise.

But then she finds a torn scrap of paper hidden inside the folds of one of his cashmere sweaters, with the words, I forgive you. And all of a sudden, Diana realises she’s not the only one keeping Big Secrets.

As empty nesters who have just downsized from the family home, she and Will are supposed to be embracing a new promise of glorious freedom – not revisiting a past that Diana has worked very hard to leave behind.

A witty, poignant and insightful exploration of marriage: the choices we make – or don’t make, the resentments we hold, the lies we tell and what forgiveness really means.
