Tom and Annie's kids have grown up, the mortgage is do-able, and they're about to get a gorgeous new, state-of-the-art French stove. But beneath the veneer of professional success and domestic
security, their marriage is crumbling, and they've settled into simply being two strangers living under the same roof. Until the economy falls apart. Suddenly the dull but oddly comfortable
predictability of their lives is upended by financial calamity. As their world shrinks, Tom and Annie are forced closer together, and the chaos around them threatens to sweep away the bitterness
and frustration.

salvageable—lives.” —Publishers Weekly

“A thoughtful, clever examination of a marriage—and a life—at the crossroads.” —Sunday Mirror (London)
