Fall in love with the poignant and compelling novel about rediscovering true love from Elizabeth Buchan, bestselling author of The New Mrs Clifton

Annie and Tom seem to have everything - a lovely home, rewarding jobs and three healthy grown-up children.

But beneath the surface lies a secret guilt which ensures that whilst they live under the same roof, they sleep in separate beds. Then Tom comes home one evening and drops a bombshell that threatens to destroy everything they have left.

If Tom and Annie are to weather this storm together they must first face the past that lies between them. Yet will doing so only push them further apart?

Separate Beds is the heartwarming and captivating novel about the little acts of kindness that can reunite a family and rekindle a marriage.
