What He Would Have Wanted
When Caroline had an affair with Jen's husband, their 30-year friendship was over. A year on, Jen's mother is determined her husband's memorial will prompt a reconciliation.
When Caroline had an affair with Jen's husband Alex, their 30 year friendship was over. But a year on, following Jen's father's death, her mother is determined that his memorial will prompt a reconciliation - even if it takes place on Zoom.
And though Caroline's betrayal has cast a long shadow, Anne is keen to reveal some unknown facts about her. Although they may not excuse Caroline's infidelity with Alex, they make it clear that, in a time of plague, there are more important things to worry about than a moment of insecurity and madness.
