Husbands

Lauren comes home late one night to her flat in London and finds her husband, Michael, waiting at the door. The trouble is that she is not married and has never seen this man before. Her friends, her much-improved decor and the photos on her phone all say that the two have been together for years. While Lauren tries to work out how she could be married to someone she cannot remember meeting, Michael climbs into the attic to change a lightbulb and vanishes. A different man comes down in his place, and a new, slightly altered life forms around her. Lauren realizes that her attic is producing an endless supply of husbands. If swapping one life for another is as simple as changing a lightbulb, how can she know she has chosen the right path? And when does a person stop trying to do better and start living? This debut novel explores love, choice and the pull of never-ending options.
