Publisher's Synopsis
Matthew Oxenhay is a stranger to his wife, an embarrassment to his children, and a failed contender for the top job at his City firm. Seizing on his sixtieth birthday party as an opportunity to deliver some rather crushing home truths to his assembled loved ones, it seems as though he may have hit rock bottom. The reality, however, is that he has some way to go yet... Matthew unpicks the threads that bind him: the suburban home, the City career, the life so different to what he once imagined. When he unexpectedly bumps into Anna - the one who got away - the stage is set for an epic unravelling.
