The Year of the Blue Reindeer is the story of one man and three women: one who breaks his heart, one who steals his heart, and one who will have his heart forever. Stephen Andrews faces the hardest and most illuminating year of his life.
When his wife of twenty years, Janet, suddenly leaves him for another woman while their daughter is away travelling, Stephen finds himself alone and struggling to cope. His situation is further complicated by his daughter’s announcement of her unexpected pregnancy, his ex-wife’s illness, and his own developing affair with Daisy, his business partner’s wife.
Stephen must somehow navigate his chaotic life, acting as a go-between with his ex-wife and daughter, Cassie, and trying to deal with his irresistible feelings for Daisy. They may be the most important people in his life, but they also prove to be the most challenging and heart-rending, too. When an old letter to Janet comes to light, it raises questions that threaten to ruin Stephen’s relationships with all three women. Torn, he must decide which path he wishes his life to follow.
