Bookseller recommendation
“The Husbands is ZANY, speculative fiction. Imagining what would happen if you woke up next to a man claiming to be your husband and then he if he goes to the attic a new husband appears. It’s also a meditation on what partnership and love could be vs what we think it should be! Is it about a set of ideal qualities or someone who will just do life with you as it comes?”
— Bonnie • Spoke & Word Books
Bookseller recommendation
“I had so much fun listening to The Husbands! The protagonist is funny and quite unpredictable, and the writing makes it feel addictive and like it's fast-paced, even though there's not so much going on! It's quite a light read, but also has some good reflections on relationships, marriage and the choices we make in life. ”

**A GUARDIAN, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, RED AND DAILY MAIL BEST SUMMER READ**
You wait ages for The One . . . then 203 come along at once
One night Lauren finds a strange man in her flat who claims to be her husband. All the evidence – from photos to electricity bills – suggests he’s right.
Lauren’s attic, she slowly realises, is creating an endless supply of husbands for her.
There’s the one who pretends to play music on her toes.
The one who’s too hot (there must be a catch).
The one who makes a great breakfast sandwich.
The one who turns everything into double entendres (‘I’ll weed your garden’).
And the one who can calm her unruly thoughts with a single touch.
But when you can change husbands as easily as changing a lightbulb, how do you know whether the one you have now is the good-enough one, or the wrong one, or the best one? And how long should you keep trying to find out?
