Descent by Sabrina Broadbent

Descent

Sabrina Broadbent

This is a very funny book but don't read it if you are looking for a happy ending. Do read it if your life has ever gone pear-shaped without your realising it - and for Genevieve the wonderful heroine who deserves much better than her Peter Pan husband.

Extract

Isn't that how it's supposed to be? Us growing old together? But my eyes and my neck, for God's sake. I had no idea I had to worry about them as well as grouting floor tiles, resuscitating my career and keeping the children alive.
