And while the loneliness can be overwhelming, surely she'll find a party somewhere?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePru's husband has walked out, leaving her alone to contemplate her future. She's missing not so much him, but the life they once had - picnicking on the beach with small children, laughing together, nestling up like spoons in the cutlery drawer as they sleep. Now there's just a dip on one side of the bed and no-one to fill it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a daze, Pru goes off to a friend's funeral. Usual old hymns, words of praise and a eulogy but...it doesn't sound like the friend Pru knew. And it isn't. She's gone to the wrong service. Everyone was very welcoming, it was - oddly - a laugh, and more excitement than she's had for ages. So she buys a little black dress in a charity shop and thinks, now I'm all set, why not go to another? I mean, people don't want to make a scene at a funeral, do they? No-one will challenge her - and what harm can it do?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e'Full of warmth and humour, as well as blistering truths'\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e Daily Mirror\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e'Moggach is at the height of her powers' \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSunday Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tinder Press","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42824179908688,"sku":"9781472260529B","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781472260529-l.jpg?v=1785895533","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/the-black-dress-9781472260529b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
