Sinopsis

âÇÖSuch a lovely, funny read. Smart, witty and full of heart.âÇÖ Ruth JonesNatalie and Carl are newlyweds, but the honeymoon period is over already.Carl has just announced he has bought their first home at auction without telling Natalie where it is, never mind showing her a picture of it.Natalie is horrified to discover that the dream home is in Little Wyford, mere minutes away from CarlâÇÖs ex-wife Antonia. And to make matters worse, AntoniaâÇÖs palatial country mansion has a fully-functioning roof (and a heated swimming pool!), unlike the ramshackle cottage Carl has bought for them...Antonia is Little WyfordâÇÖs Queen Bee, mistress of the book club, organiser of the Christmas Fair and leader of the ladies-who-lunch. No matter how hard she tries, Natalie just doesnâÇÖt fit in, and when Antonia insists on referring to Carl as âÇÖOur HusbandâÇÖ, NatalieâÇÖs dreams of happily-ever-after take another nose dive.Second-hand furniture has much to recommend it, especially when doing up a country cottage, second-hand clothes can be ever-so chic, but second-hand husbands are proving to be a very bad idea indeed... Can Natalie ever escape the label of Wife Number Two or is she destined to share her husband forever?Hilariously funny,áwickedly witty, but with a heart of gold and aáwarmth and wisdomáthat are all its own, AáSecond-Hand Husbandáis Claire CalmanâÇÖs tour de force.âÇÖSo engrossing, youâÇÖll read until four in the morning!âÇÖ Jilly CooperPraise for Claire Calman:âÇÖDonâÇÖt take this hilarious, touching and very clever novel to bed if youâÇÖve got to rise very early the next day, because it is so engrossing, youâÇÖll read until four in the morning. Claire CalmanâÇÖs plot twists and turns with endless surprises...âÇÖáJilly CooperâÇÖI really, really enjoyed it - I devoured it over four nights. Such a lovely, funny read. Smart, witty and full of heart. The characters were so well defined - I felt I knew them intimately. And the cottage and the pond and village - all the locations in fact were so beautifully depicted, I was completely transported there!áBut also the dialogue was a joy and such great humour - I laughed out loud on many occasions.âÇÖáRuth JonesâÇÖA beautifully observed tale of new love and blending families, with a heroine I was rooting for from the very first page.âÇÖáShari LowáonáA Second-Hand HusbandâÇÖA beautiful book, so compassionate... and ultimately very hopeful. I enjoyed it hugely.âÇÖáMarian KeyesâÇÖA clever, bittersweet, uplifting novelâÇÖáSophie KinsellaâÇÖWriting with proper heartâÇÖáRachel JoyceâÇÖThe characterisation is brilliant, and the astute storytelling, punctuated by stiletto-sharp wit, produces an effervescent and spirit-lifting story.âÇÖáSunday MirrorâÇÖA poignant and beautifully articulated tale of love and loss, memory and forgetting, grief and guilt, new love and letting go. I was engrossed, often tearful, and finally, uplifted.âÇÖáIsobel WolffâÇÖSimply wonderful. I was totally enchanted, devoured it in a day, and have been raving about it ever since.âÇÖáFiona Walker
