How to Break Your Own Heart by Maggie Alderson

'Do you think it's normal for a happily married couple in their mid to late thirties to sleep in separate beds?'

Amelia Bradlow has eveerything she needs to be happy - a handsome husband, a beautiful home, money, good looks and a glamorous job. Everything that is, except the thing she wants most - a baby.

Ed, her husband, is funny, affectionate and sophisticated but simply not interested in parenthood. He likes his life neat and tidy. And he likes having a wife who attends solely to his needs.

As she approaches 37, Amelia is faced with a life-changing decision, aided and abetted by Kiki, her hopelessly disorganised but ridiculously rich friend. Should Amelia stay in her nearly happy marriage, or expose herself to the vagaries of a single life and the distant possibility of meeting someone who wants to start a family?
