Description

When you've lost what matters the most, there are only two ways to go: recover or lose it completely.

Stella Carmichael never expected her marriage-flawed but familiar-to suddenly unravel. With her world upended and her home achingly quiet, she's ready to retreat from life altogether.

But her daughters have other plans.

Banished to London under the guise of "help," Stella finds herself thousands of miles from everything she knows, tasked with the care of her defiant teenage granddaughter. What begins as an unwanted exile slowly transforms into something else entirely.

As Stella navigates generational rifts, new friendships, and a surprising flirtation, she begins to see the beauty in second chances. In the heart of an unfamiliar city, she discovers that family-however fractured-is a gift, and life, no matter how unexpected, is worth embracing.

What readers are saying...
"Susan Lute is a beautiful keeper of the human heart. She explores the soul and leaves the reader certain life is worth the journey." Wendy Warren, Nationally Bestselling and Two-Time RITA Recipient

"One of my favorite types of books is about a woman's personal journey - to healing, knowledge, strength - with a romance along the way. And I just finished a lovely one: Susan Lute's "The London Affair." It also has the bonus of a wonderful grandma/granddaughter relationship, not to mention a secondary romance and a family's healing after a horrible loss. And a great setting. Yes, that's London, as in England. Sometimes it takes distance and something new to help people figure out their lives, and that's the case for heroine Stella." Susan Lyons Fox
