The Secret Solar System of the Heart: A gripping emotional drama about midlife love, desire and happiness.
Perfect for fans of Sheila O'Flanagan and Catherine Newman!
Susan Johnson never imagined that she'd hit her sexual peak at fifty-five.
It's a shame that she can't tell her best friend Maddy, but Maddy has run off with Susan's husband. That's something else Susan wasn't expecting.
After fleeing to the French countryside to escape the double betrayal, Susan accidentally injures Max, a married man twenty-two years her junior. She insists on caring for him while he recovers, and un unexpected relationship develops between them.
As the stormy French summer unfolds, Susan and Max are forced to reconsider their futures as they become aware that perhaps they've both neglected one of the most fundamental needs in life – self-fulfilment.
A gripping emotional drama about desire, obligation and the pursuit of happiness that examines at what point in our lives we're entitled to step out of our existing orbit in order to focus on our own, secret internal solar system.
