Everyone's on holiday.
Except the woman who packed for it.
Claire has been looking forward to five weeks in Portugal. Sunshine. Time with her husband. A chance to read the two novels she optimistically squeezed into the suitcase.
Her daughter would rather be somewhere else. Her son has questions. And everyone still seems to think Mum knows where everything is.
Ben loves his wife. Claire loves her husband. Somewhere between school forms, work deadlines and deciding what's for dinner, they've become very good at running a family.
Spending time together takes a little more practice.
Now, in a seaside village where they have thirty-five nights and no easy excuse to rush away, there's finally time to ask each other a few questions.
Some are harder to answer than Where's my towel?
They've spent months planning this holiday.
Neither has planned for what they might finally say.
ONE LONG VACATION is a warm, funny novel about marriage, motherhood, and making room for yourself in a life full of people you love.
