Longlisted for the 2026 PEN / Hemingway Award for Debut Novel Winner of the 2025 Barnes & Noble Discover Prize. A New York Times Book of the Year. A TIME's 100 Must-Read Book of 2025. A man and a woman walk into a restaurant. The woman hopes they will order the best wine on the menu. Instead, her husband tells her he is having an affair with a woman called Maggie. When her chest starts to ache, the woman goes to a doctor who tells her the pain in her breast isn't just heartbreak - but - cancer. She decides to call the tumour Maggie and begins to strike up a conversation with it. In turns wildly funny and devastatingly tender, Maggie takes place during a pause -between divorce and marriage, sickness and health, the unknown and the status quo. In reaction to the unfolding chaos, the heartbroken woman creates 'A Guide to My Husband: A User's Manual' filled with a thousand facts for the real Maggie about the man they both love. In the tradition of Nora Ephron's writing on heartbreak and womanhood, Maggie is set to be the divorce novel of our age.
