What do you wear when you slide into bed with a man for the first time when you’ve only just met him, know nothing about him – ‘not even how he takes his coffee’ – yet married him that day?
Carla Kyle is one of the few women who can answer that question. Like much of the story of her first marriage, it’s complicated.
‘I didn’t wear a flannelette nightie, up to here,’ she says, gesturing to her neck. ‘But nor was I going to be wearing something silky. I didn’t know him! In the end, I wore my jammies.’
