"Ania, a marriage guidance counsellor, thinks she understands love. Marriage is a partnership that can be managed; love is an aberration. But when she can't avoid the powerful draw of a strange Polish man, all of her rules will be turned upside down. Rose has reached her wits end with Harry: their marriage is reaching crisis point. Their son Sam thinks they're mad, but he is also learning the fickleness of love. Philosopher turned pizza-maker, Maciek, has escaped Poland to find solace from a love affair gone wrong. But life in a foreign country will soon become even more complicated as he is overcome by his feelings for a kind, yet married woman. Life in the Scottish village of Evanton may seem calm, but in the hearts of its residents lies turmoi. Separate lives intertwine to potentially disasterous effect as they all struggle to answer the universal question: what is love?"--Publisher description.
