From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, comes a breath taking novel about modern marriage, the depth of family ties, and the year that one remarkable heroine spends exploring both.

When Lauren and Ryan's marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes.

Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren's ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for?

This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It's about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you've got. And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old game-and searching for a new road to happily ever after.

Trzy lata po powrocie z Tunezji Jan po nieudanych próbach poprawy bytu w schyłkowym okresie PRL-u podejmuje decyzję o podjęciu pracy w Algierii. Trafia wraz z rodziną na uczelnię do Laghouatu, miasta położonego na skraju Sahary, w niespokojnych czasach przejęcia władzy przez islamistów. Jan, humorysta, uważający się za kontynuatora kodeksu Legii Cudzoziemskiej, wskrzesza ducha solidarności wśród arabskich i sowieckich wykładowców i lotników. To jedyna skuteczna metoda przetrwania w pracy z buntowniczymi studentami w trudnym klimacie pustyni. W książce przeczytamy między innymi o zwyczajach i kulturze Arabów i Berberów. Nie brak też opisów podróży niezbyt sprawnym samochodem po egzotycznym kraju.

HOW DID THE GOOD LIFE GO SO WRONG?

Amy Connell and Lan Honey are having the best childhood. When their families make the leap from city living to a farm in the West Country they have untold freedom. The adults are far too busy to keep an eye on them, and Amy and Lan would never tell them about climbing on the high barn roof, or what happened with the axe that time, any more than their parents would tell them the things they get up to. Adult things, like betrayal, that threaten to bring the whole fragile idyll tumbling down...
