'A city-with-fancy-food sort of break?'**_  
**  
If only.**  
  
Amy's husband Hugh says he isn't leaving her.  
  
He still loves her, he's just taking a break - from their marriage, their children and, most of all, from their life together.  
  
Six months in South-East Asia. And nothing she says can stop him.  
  
But when does a break become a break-up?  
  
A lot can happen in six months. And it's enough to send Amy and her family of gossips, misfits and troublemakers teetering over the edge.  
_  
When Hugh returns, if he returns, will he be the same man she married?  
  
Will Amy be the same woman?_  
**  
Because if Hugh is on a break from their marriage, then . . . isn't she on one too?**
