  When Amy Marsham walks into his smart Harley Street practice, therapist Patrick McIlhenny knows that this will be no ordinary session. Amy, a woman on the eve of a new life, needs answers. So she visits the only person who may be able to provide them, who may know her husband better than she does. In the calm of Patrick's office, they begin to untangle the events of one fateful week ten years earlier: a week of infatuation and friendships pushed to breaking point; a week in which Amy's life changed for ever. In this compelling and uplifting debut novel, Gillian Greenwood tells the story of a family, a group of friends, a marriage - and the secrets we keep to protect the ones we love.

  Amy Marsham visits a Harley Street psychologist claiming to suffer from an 'excess of happiness'. But if she is telling the truth, this happiness has been hard-earned. Over three life-changing decades Amy, her family and friends have grown up together, struggling to make sense of their lives, work, loves and loyalties. But just when it seems everything will either spiral into chaos or lead to fulfilment, the events of one week alters their lives for ever. Funny, tender and moving, Satisfaction is a novel about a marriage, a family and a group of friends all hoping to find happiness. Full of wisdom and humour, with an unexpected twist in its tail, it is a warm-hearted and compassionate debut by a brilliant new writer.
