Moving, memorable and a mirror for anyone who’s craving their own company, Table For One is a story about what it means to be happily alone, not lonely.

If in doubt, date yourself…

Willow has everything worked out.*The steady partner*The successful career*The grown-up house

Until she doesn’t – and she’s cast adrift on the sea of heartbreak, grieving a future that’s barely begun. With her life transformed beyond recognition, and her friends busy ‘moving forwards’, Willow has never felt more alone. But she’s in good company.

And when inspiration arrives from an unlikely source, she rekindles the relationship she longs for – but has long neglected… The one with herself…
