A Perfect Marriage

When is it time to let go of the past? Sally Lachlan has a secret that has haunted her for a decade, is it now time to let it go? A chance meeting with the charismatic geneticist, Anthony Blake, reawakens Sally's desire for love. But as she finally lets down her guard, her daughter, Charlie, shows signs of wishing to know more about her father and what really happened all those years ago. Both the past and the future are places Sally prefers not to think about, but if she wants to move towards a new love, she will first have to come to terms with her previous marriage. Only then will she be able to be honest with Charlie . . . and herself. A story of love and loss, A Perfect Marriage is also a heart-warming tale of redemption, new hopes and fresh beginnings, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty.

Industry reviews

‘With crystal-clear prose and an artful warmth, Alison Booth leads us into the heart of contemporary human relationships, exposing tough – and necessary – truths. Very moving.’ Nigel Featherstone, author of Bodies of Men

‘With an intricate plaiting of past and present that both tantalises and beguiles, this novel is a poignant account of a marriage that is not what its title suggests.’ Marion Halligan, author of Lovers’ Knots: A Hundred- Year Novel

‘Alison Booth captures the magnificence of female friendships and the tragedy of a disastrous marriage in a narrative that has the most satisfying of conclusions, hope.’ Nicole Alexander, best-selling author

‘This cleverly structured book begins and ends with the same dead body, starting at the morgue and ending, ten years later, at the cemetery. In between Alison Booth uses the slow reveal to develop and build up her portrait of a young, bad marriage.’ Sydney Morning Herald?
