After thirty years of marriage, can there be any secrets left? 

Diana Forsyth is in the midst of planning the big party, a combined celebration of her husband Will’s 60th and their 30th wedding anniversary. The whole family is flying in Diana is planning a big surprise.

But then she finds a torn scrap of paper hidden inside the folds of one of his cashmere sweaters, with the words ‘I forgive you’. And all of a sudden, Diana realises she’s not the only one keeping big secrets.

Author Meredith Jaffé is the former festival director of StoryFest on the NSW South Coast, she wrote the weekly literary column for the online women’s magazine The Hoopla, and her feature articles, reviews, and opinion pieces have appeared in The Guardian Australia, The Huffington Post, and Mamamia.
