"Hugh and I are taking a break," I said.
"A fancy-food-in-a-city kind of break?"
Only if.
Hugh, Amy's spouse, claims he won't be leaving her.
He's merely taking a vacation from their marriage, their kids, and most importantly, their life together, even though he still loves her. It took him six months to become lost in Southeast Asia. Furthermore, Amy is at a loss for words or action.
Indeed, it's a midlife crisis, but let's be clear: for the time being, a break isn't a breakup.
But for Amy, it's enough to push her over the brink, along with her large family of misfits, gossips, and troublemakers.
Because a lot may occur in six months. Will Hugh be the same guy she married when he returns, if he does? Is Amy going to be the same person?
Because, really, isn't she taking a vacation from their marriage if Hugh is?
The Break tells the narrative of remaining in love rather than falling in love. Marian Keyes is at her most smart, witty, and funny in this passage.
