Another Marvelous Thing

Josephine "Billy" Delielle and Francis Clemens are happily married - just not to each other. Another Marvellous Thing is the story of their affair, from its fabulous inception to its inevitable end

''Warm, wise, witty, and just plain fun'' Maggie Shipstead

At a perfectly ordinary cocktail party, Francis is introduced to Billy and - although it slips right by him at the time - he falls in love with her at once.

Billy is a serious, often glum person. An economic historian, she is indifferent to a great many things (clothes, food, home décor), frowns easily and is frequently irritated.

Francis is older. He likes routine and a well-run household; he likes to pay for dinner, open car doors and call Billy at night to make sure she is safe.

Both are happily married - but not to each other.

So begins a whirlwind love affair, perfectly captured in this frank, funny irresistible novel, from its fabulous inception to its inevitable end.
