Push Hands

A novel of love, life and Tai Chi. Phil and Penny were made for each other. The only problem is they're both married to someone else. When they meet at a Tai Chi class, they recognise at once the depth of one another's loneliness and establish at once a deep connection. Fearful of the consequences, they go to elaborate lengths to avoid each other – but their paths keep crossing with a regularity that begins to feel less like coincidence and more like fate. Middle-aged, long-married, and surrounded by people with agendas of their own, Phil and Penny find their unlikely friendship forcing them to ask serious questions about their marriages, their families, and who they actually are beneath the expected roles they've been playing for years. The answers, when they come, are funnier, sadder and stranger than either of them expected.
