How it all began

This wonderful novel examines the intricacies of love, relationships and marriage in a unique and ultimately truthful way. Taking the small incidental moments of everyday life, Lively looks at the impact these seemingly trivial moments have upon the novel’s central characters; revealing how lives, relationships and love are irredeemably changed forever because of them. In examining the act of fate upon individual destinies, Lively is able to tell stories of how we respond to truths about ourselves, when circumstances insist we can no longer live any other way.
