Mrs. Bright is your average middle-aged woman, married for more than half of her life, mother to 2 grown children, keeping up with friends and obligations. Until one day, when she wakes up and decides that she has had enough and walks away from her marriage.
Kay finds herself at the point in her life where she wonders at the road not taken and looks back too fondly at what could have been, seeing the past through a distorted lens of wistful thinking.
After her friend’s bi-monthly letters suddenly stop with no notice, Kay decides that while she is spreading her wings and finding her own identity post marriage, she will check in on her friend in Australia.
What she learns on her travels, about her friends, herself and her marriage helps her to put feelings in perspective and find a new way forward while maintaining her relationships with her husband, children and friends.
This is a novel about midlife, looking back, family and friendship. It is a nice light read, the troubles and turmoils are put to bed a little too neatly for my taste, making it a little hard to believe at times, but overall a good book. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
