Summary:

One frigid January morning in Manhattan, a new father, racked by sleep deprivation, decides to let his wife sleep in-- then spontaneously flees with the baby for a weekend in the Caribbean. It wasn't a kidnapping, he just wanted to spend time with the baby and give his wife a break. When the wife awakens truly rested, she feels great and embarks on a city adventure as misguided in its own way as her husband's impulsive escape. Told from the couple's alternating points of view, the story unfolds across a life-changing weekend. The wife tries to recapture who she was before the baby. The husband struggles to care for his daughter. This fortunate, highly educated American couple barely survives making the first real sacrifice of their lives. But survive they do, in this hilarious yet touching novel of passion, ambivalence, and love.
