Getting over Edgar

Gwen Stone's life takes an abrupt nosedive when Edgar, her husband of twenty years, decides he isn't suited to marriage and leaves her for freedom and the cliché of a shiny new red convertible. But Edgar's own life takes a considerably worse nosedive when he and his new car are mowed down at a level crossing by a passenger train, shocking Gwen once again. Moments after Edgar's very funny funeral, Gwen finds herself careering into the arms of David, a much younger bartender who has his own awkward problems. The results of their encounter are life-changing for each of them, in this witty, compassionate novel.
