A Perfect Arrangement by Suzanne Berne

A Perfect Arrangement

Suzanne Berne

The perfect arrangement is seriously flawed and the perfect family, isn't! I expected something awful to happen, but the end is unpredictable.

Extract
Into each brief day she bundled all her phone calls, her anxious clients, memos, court appearances, eighteen homemade valentines demanded by Pearl's preschool, play-date logistics, Jacob's appointments, the dry cleaning, something for dinner. And that long drive back and forth from Boston, which was his fault, though she hardly complained, which made it worse.
