New Paperback
Postscript summary

Product information
Full publisher description
Joanna and Roger have been married for over forty years. Children of the sixties, they're still free spirits,
drawn together by their passion for music - and each other.
Conversations from a Long Marriage is exactly that: following conversations that take them from the local cafe, to their kitchen table, taking in her resentment of new glasses - a symbol of ageing - and fury at being lectured by the dental hygienist. He has a dodgy knee and is on statins, and when they discuss the marriage break-up of their closest friends, Sally and Peter, there's jealousy and talk of affairs. She suggests there are advantages to
single beds and separate holidays, and wants to go clubbing in Ibiza for her imminent 'big' birthday.
Witty, big-hearted and a whole lot of fun, Conversations from a Long Marriage will resonate with couples of any age - but especially those who are still dancing in the kitchen, singing in the car and trying to keep the passion alive.
