What would it be like if you could change husbands as easily as a lightbulb?
'Brilliant, hilarious, surprising and wise. I devoured it' NAOMI ALDERMAN Michael is kind, cute and thoughtful. He cleans up after himself, and he makes an excellent breakfast sandwich. The only problem is, Lauren's never met him before. She just... found him in her flat late one night. Michael seems pretty certain that he's Lauren's husband, and all the evidence, from photos to electricity bills, suggests that he's right. But when he climbs into the attic to change a lightbulb, he abruptly disappears. And in his place, a new man climbs down. Lauren's attic, she slowly realises, is creating an endless supply of oblivious husbands. When each new husband climbs down, her life shifts, taking on a new shape to accommodate him. According to everyone except Lauren, each new life is just... the way things have always been. But when you can change husbands as easily as changing a lightbulb, how do you know whether the one you have now is the good enough one, or the wrong one, or the best one? And how long should you keep trying to find out?
