Stella Carmichael can't believe her life with her husband, though not always perfect, is over. All that's left is to shut herself away in their house that is too empty and turn her back on the world she's certain will happily go on without her.

But thanks to her interfering daughters, she's exiled to London. Instead of licking her wounds in solitude, Stella's babysitting her rebellious teenage granddaughter and having to make sense of her life thousands of miles from home.

Repairing her family's fragile relationships is not an easy task. While getting to know Mia, meeting new friends, and embarking on an unexpected flirtation, she discovers family is a gift; and living, something to be treasured.

What readers are saying...
"Susan Lute is a beautiful keeper of the human heart. She explores the soul and leaves the reader certain life is worth the journey." Wendy Warren, Nationally Bestselling and Two-Time RITA Recipient

"One of my favorite types of books is about a woman's personal journey - to healing, knowledge, strength - with a romance along the way. And I just finished a lovely one: Susan Lute's "The London Affair." It also has the bonus of a wonderful grandma/granddaughter relationship, not to mention a secondary romance and a family's healing after a horrible loss. And a great setting. Yes, that's London, as in England. Sometimes it takes distance and something new to help people figure out their lives, and that's the case for heroine Stella." Susan Lyons Fox
