Lingua:Libri ItalianiIl matrimonio di Daisy e Simon è fantastico, non è vero? Daisy è un’insegnante e Simon un designer di interni. Sembrano proprio perfetti l’uno per l’altra e la loro intesa fa invidia a tutti gli amici e ai conoscenti.
Dopo anni passati felicemente insieme, l’arrivo della piccola Millie ha coronato i loro sogni. Sembra difficile immaginare una felicità più perfetta: una splendida famiglia di tre persone. Tutto considerato, il fatto che Simon beva un po’ troppo non è poi così importante. Daisy ci è abituata, sa che succede solo quando ha bisogno di rilassarsi dopo una giornata pesante. Finché una sera, a una festa, le cose vanno terribilmente fuori controllo. Da quel momento la felice famigliola non sarà mai più la stessa...

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER HAPPILY EVER AFTER?
Young Wives' Tales is the stylish, insightful sequel to Playing Away. Lucy, Rose and Connie are back in a novel which is every bit as addictive as Adele's debut bestseller and follows the friends' fortunes in their new roles as wives, mothers and lovers with plenty of surprises along the way...
Rose thought she had it all, but her perfect life crumbled when her so-called friend seduced her husband and destroyed her marriage. Now Rose is left without any passion, romance or plans for the future...
Lucy believed she finally had her fairy-tale ending, but being the wife isn't half as glamorous as being the mistress. When excitement and thrills give way to more chat about cleaning and the kids, it's not very...her.
They desperately envy Connie: happily married, effortlessly juggling two children and a fulfilling career. Connie has found genuine contentment. Until, that is, a dangerous old flame flickers back into view...
Will she be tempted to play with fire again?
