About this listen
Douglas Petersen’s family is on the brink of dissolution. His marriage of 21 years to Connie is almost over. When autumn comes around, their son Albie will leave for college. Connie has decided to leave soon after.
But before everything falls apart, there's still the summer holidays to get through - a Grand Tour of Europe's major cities - and over the course of the journey, Douglas devises a plan to win back the love of his wife and repair his troubled relationship with his son.

PloddingThoughtfulReflectiveWhich scene did you most enjoy?
The train journey in Italy which leads to a night in the cells.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, the plot wasn't fast paced enough for that.Any additional comments?
I found this a very thoughtful book about how people end up with each other, what brought them together, what keeps them together and how over time what keeps them together is possibly no longer relevant, and what they do about this.A plodding book, like the main character

What made the experience of listening to Us the most enjoyable?
Really like David Nichols and think this is one if his best. Funny and heart-warming at times. The father son relationship was really well written - I was actually cringing at the dad's' behaviour at times! Great listen which I found hard to put down !Loved it
