HIS & HERS

Two homes. Two hearts. One stubborn jar of marmalade.


Leo Gallagher's world is measured in spreadsheets, silent routines, and the persistent drip of a tap he can't fix. His wife Claire has fled to a California rental with "optimal coastal light" to find herself-or at least remember who she was before they started archiving their marriage into separate rooms.

From his orderly English garden to her sun-drenched exile, His and Hers tells the parallel, often hilarious story of a marriage in retreat. Leo battles a vindictive pigeon and a ghost of perfume in his study. Claire wages war on a sinister succulent and the blank pages of her sketchbook. They communicate only through careful texts about recycling bins and other people's cats-until a hidden love letter and a plumbing disaster catapult them onto a collision course in the middle of Grand Central Terminal.

With wit, warmth, and piercing insight, this modern classic explores what happens when the person you need most is the one you've trained yourself to live without. It's a tale of mismatched socks, misplaced hopes, and the beautiful, awkward, imperfect work of building a new "theirs" from the shattered pieces of "his" and "hers."


For anyone who has ever loved, left, or wondered if it's too late to find their way back.
