From the back cover:

"When Laura Lewis surrenders her life of stylish independence in Paris to care for her mother in Winchester, romance seems a necessary casualty. Then she runs into Ben, the love of her student days - and, as she belatedly admits, her emotional yardstick for every man since. But are they brave enough to grasp this second chance at happiness, or will they be defeated by the deep-seated need to do what they think is right?

Revolving the events of a single summer's day, The Whole Day Through is a bittersweet love story, shot through with an understanding of mortality, memory and the difficulty of being good. It is a candid tale about the tests of love: the failings, the triumphs - and the regrets."

This is the second Patrick Gale book that I have read this year. I find him very easy to read and look forward to reading more.
