English Summary/英文概要: Three women, three secrets and three lives changed forever ...Amy has never had to work, enjoying a charmed life of shopping and lunching, with a nanny to look after the children, courtesy of her wealthy husband, Ben. Her older sister, Kate, however, has always had to struggle by on very little money, juggling her job with two children and a husband. And Jennifer, their mother, is only just beginning to recover from the death of her own husband. But when Jennifer makes contact with the charming, womanizing Hugh, with whom she had an affair many years previously, she unlocks a dangerous Pandora’s box. She wants to find the answer to a question that has tormented her for thirty-six years. And Amy’s charmed existence is about to be thrown into disarray when Ben’s business collapses, and their wealth disappears overnight. Suddenly she finds herself forced to be the breadwinner. But can Amy and Ben’s marriage survive such an upheaval, or is it a case of ’Till Debt Do Us Part’? Put-upon Kate’s safe little world is rocked when she meets the enigmatic, handsome Jack. Feeling increasingly estranged from her husband Miles, Kate thinks Jack can offer her a fresh start. But there’s something about Jack that Kate doesn’t know...Old debts, and new temptations. Find out just who will pay up, in this warm and wise new novel from the bestselling author of RSVP.
