The acclaimed author behind "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and "Tulip Fever" returns with a novel that blends warmth, humor, and insight into the unforeseen turns life may take in later years.

Petra's romantic endeavors are tumultuous, even in her sixties. Her heart stirs for Jeremy, an old friend visiting from overseas, only to be ensnared by the fact that Jeremy is wed to Bev, Petra's dearest friend. As Petra settles into what she hopes will be a blissful new chapter filled with guilt-ridden joy, she is unexpectedly whisked away to West Africa, directly into the orbit of Bev, the friend she has been so profoundly betraying. Throughout this journey, she learns that everyone, regardless of where they are, has their own secrets. The question looms: Is Bev—or anyone—truly trustworthy?
