A Minor Indiscretion

ebook

In a moment of madness, Ali Kingston, wife and mother of three, skips work to spend the day with Christian, a gorgeous street artist fifteen years her junior. Midlife crisis or whatever, it escalates when Ali's husband, Ed, equates her minor indiscretion with a major affair and kicks her out into the rainy night...and Christian's open arms. Soon thirty-eight-year-old Ali is ensconced in a Notting Hill love nest wondering how to introduce her children to the charismatic Christian, who could easily have been her teenage daughter's boyfriend rather than her own.

Meanwhile back at the ranch house in suburban Richmond, Ed is also facing unanticipated temptations, as two younger women compete to console him for the loss of his wife, while family and friends attempt to reunite him with Ali...with deliciously droll results. Then a disconcerting event forces both Ed and Ali to decide what they really want--from themselves, from each other and from life itself.

      Ali is idly drinking a cup of coffee when she notices a handsome young stranger sketching her. Christian, who at 23 is 15 years younger than Ali, is immediately smitten, and begins pursuing her. Ali's husband, Ed, a producer for a video company, has been less than attentive lately, and she finds herself drawn to Christian. What Ali doesn't suspect is that a (mostly) innocent afternoon in the park with Christian will lead to Ed's throwing her out of the house. Christian is more than happy to invite her to live with him, but is it what Ali really wants? Meanwhile, Ed, no longer sure of his hasty decision to throw Ali out, is contending with the romantic overtures of two younger women. Matthews, author of the popular " For Better, For Worse" (2002), scores again with this charming comedy.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2003, American Library Association.)
