About this audiobook
A charming, universally beloved gentleman hides a lifetime of reckless decisions and hidden indiscretions behind his affable, easygoing exterior. When he marries a woman decades his junior, the ghosts of his scandalous past begin to emerge from the woodwork, threatening to shatter their fragile happiness. His young bride is forced to confront the harsh reality of the man she idolized, testing the true limits of her devotion and forgiveness. Navigate a nuanced, deeply affecting tale of marital disillusionment, aging, and the inescapable consequences of a misspent youth.
