I was not adequately prepared for this.

The story commences with Bronte and Aden's family facing the necessity of relocating to Brisbane due to the enforced closure of their winery. Aden, struggling to cope with this abrupt misfortune, has adopted a confrontational demeanor toward his wife, creating a significant rift in their relationship. At the same time, he receives a professional opportunity in Dubai, leaving Bronte to manage their children alone. Seizing this chance, Bronte reawakens her passion for writing and subsequently connects with Luther, a fellow writer, through Twitter.

With her husband away, Bronte’s constant communication with Luther evolves into a deep emotional connection. Meanwhile, Aden experiences a transformative moment in Dubai and resolves to mend their marriage, unaware that his wife has already formed an emotional bond with another.

I approached this book out of curiosity, not anticipating the profound impact it would have on me. Coming from a conservative background, I found certain aspects challenging to digest. This is my second encounter with the theme of polyamory, but this narrative resonates differently due to the familial elements involved. While attraction to another individual during marriage is certainly conceivable, the idea of sharing a partner is undeniably daunting. Although it was refreshing to explore the complexities of non-traditional relationships, I experienced a spectrum of emotions while reading: frustration towards Bronte for her perceived selfishness, yet admiration for her tenacity in pursuing her ambitions in both career and love. I felt a blend of sadness and pride for Aden, who displayed an extraordinary level of love and understanding toward his wife. As for Luther, I found his character engaging and charming, though he ultimately revealed himself to be rather cowardly.

In sum, this novel provokes deep contemplation on the intricacies of love, relationships, family and self-discovery.

Final rating: 3.75 stars
