I love the Walsh family, especially Claire's parents. How they could not address support issues and how to deal with their joint properties seemed very strange. Thus the reader does not know why the difficulties in the marriage occurred, and that was a mystery to me. It was frustrating for me that neither Claire nor her husband made contact for several weeks after the baby's birth. Claire goes through despair and then anger at her husband and her predicament. It does cover topics that I normally would not be interested in. Claire describes her ups and downs, her settling in with her parents and sisters and her child, and the new people she meets.
I don't exactly know how to describe this book. A very good decision, I think, a place where she will have support. Her reaction is to leave London, where she works and lives with her husband, and go to Dublin and stay with her parents for a few months. Obviously, such an announcement right after the birth of a baby would be upending. As he was present at the birth, I can only assume the two events weren't entirely unrelated.Ĭlaire had no clue that her husband was unhappy with the marriage and was having an affair with a woman that they both know. It is the day I gave birth to my first child. The main character is Claire and the book starts out thus:įebruary fifteenth is a very special day for me.
