Fearless, goofy and risk-taking, he arrives in her life on the back of a huge motorcycle. By the end of the day, the pair are kissing in an apple orchard. A year later, they are married. Five years after that, Sam has sailed into a storm and Olly is a widow at twenty-seven, left to grieve her impetuous, irresistible husband and deal with a world that treats her like a piece of antique glass. But as time passes, she realises that her risks are as daring as any of Sam's: while he chanced life and limb, Olly risks her heart - and finds that love can take some surprising turns. With humour, compassion and a decided lack of sentimentality, this is the wise and witty story of a woman trying to find her future, from the beloved Laurie Colwin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA W\u0026amp;N Essential with an introduction from Brandon Taylor\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laurie Colwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58288172925253,"sku":"9781399614450","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9781399614450.jpg?v=1781598172","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9781399614450","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
