About the book

Mrs Greenfield the Third

Emily Greenfield has spent her career helping other people cope with grief, anxiety and loss. Given a year to live, all that professional wisdom becomes considerably less useful. Her fear is not dying, it is leaving her husband James.

James Greenfield is kind, intelligent and uneasy in a world that rarely makes sense to him. Routine steadies him, honesty matters to him and Emily has always understood the anxiety he hides beneath competence.

After his first marriage ended there was loneliness, poor choices and women who mistook his vulnerability for something they could fix or exploit so Emily recruits a reluctant panel of friends and family to help find Mrs Greenfield the Third.

But when her outrageous idea becomes reality, how will Emily cope? How far can a woman really go to future-proof her husband’s happiness?
