About this ebook
From Deborah Moggach, bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, comes another hilarious and romantic comedy, this time set in a run-down B&B in Wales...
When retired actor Buffy decides to up sticks from London and move to rural Wales, he has no idea what he is letting himself in for.
In possession of a run-down B&B that leans more towards the shabby than the chic and is miles from nowhere, he realises he needs to fill the beds – and fast.
Enter a motley collection of guests: Harold, whose wife has run off with a younger woman; Amy, who’s been unexpectedly dumped by her (not-so) weedy boyfriend and Andy, the hypochondriac postman whose girlfriend is much too much for him to handle.
But under Buffy’s watchful eye, this disparate group of strangers find they have more in common than perhaps they first thought...

Buffy is someone I think we all can relate to. Its funny, suprising and heartwarming showing us that love could be just around the corner. Deborah Moggach has given us a fantastic character. If you loved this then you'll love The Ex Wives!!

Very human realistic characters. First of Deborah Moggach's novel that I've read. I was really surprised at the ages of the characters, but it was not at all unpleasant. It seemed very realistic. I couldn't put it down.
