“Highly readable” – Slack-Tide by Elanor Dymott

"Elanor Dymott's third novel centres on a love affair between an English novelist, Elizabeth, aged 40, and Robert, an American architect, aged 52. Each comes with their own back story - Elizabeth has been coasting since the failure of her marriage (itself the sad result of fallout from the death of a child), holding a part of herself in reserve from the men she hooked up with; similarly, Robert has a failed marriage under his belt but he is not quite as clear of his previous partner as Elizabeth is. If you approached this book because you overheard someone compare it favourably to the Sharon Horgan / Rob Delaney sitcom, Catastrophe, you wouldn't go far wrong."
