Résumé

Revue de presse "A heart-wrenching love story" (OK! magazine) "Poignant contemporary romance...with a sharp eye for the absurdities of modern manners" (Daily Mail) Présentation de l'éditeur The first thing Alexander notices about Kate is her fingernails, each painted a different sparkly shade. The first thing he says to her is 'American Hot'. Nell thinks Alexander's extreme good looks are the sort that make men emotionally lazy. That he doesn't have to lift a finger and women will come running. And then there's Lucy. Lucy, who loves Alexander so much more than he deserves. Perfect Day is about the difference between falling in love and loving someone. It's about what women want and what men want, and how scared people are of telling each other. It's about dreaming of leaving and the possibility of escape. It's about infidelity. It's about the difference between the way people appear and the way they are inside. But in the end, it's a love story. And it's about one perfect day. Quatrième de couverture If we were a song, what song do you think we would be? On a perfect spring morning, Alexander catches an early train into London, but he never reaches work. Instead he spends the day with Kate, a waitress he has met the previous evening, a woman so unlike anyone he has ever known, she makes the world shimmer with possibility. Such a perfect day, Nell takes her child Lucy to the seaside hoping that the sea air will blow away the doubts she has about her life. As Nell ponders why falling in love with someone is so different from loving someone, Alexander allows himself to imagine leaving his old life behind and starting afresh. And by a stranger turn of fate, there's an opportunity to do just that - if he chooses to take it...
