"Amy's husband Hugh says he isn't leaving her. He still loves her, he's just taking a break -- from their marriage, their children and, most of all, from their life together. Six months to lose himself in south-east Asia. And there is nothing Amy can say or do about it. Yes, it's a mid-life crisis, but let's be clear: a break isn't a break up -- yet... However, for Amy it's enough to send her -- along with her extended family of gossips, misfits and troublemakers -- teetering over the edge. For a lot can happen in six-months. When Hugh returns -- if he returns -- will he be the same man she married? And will Amy be the same woman? Because if Hugh is on a break from their marriage, then isn't she?"-- Publisher's description.
