For example, a plot of the family relationships that develop when a suspended husband reappears and wants his 'old' wife back, who in the meantime has remarried could be interesting.<<<<<<< Interestingly, my proposal was based on relationships. Briefly, the story centres on complex family relationships. It concerns a woman dealing with 'empty nest syndrome' initially and a stale marriage. One son wants cryonics: the father (a pathologist)opposes it: mother supports son and becomes interested herself. The two other siblings have mixed feelings so plenty of opportunity for discussions. The son becomes terminally ill so the final decision had to be made quickly, taking his other relationships into consideration. But ... as I say, I don't have the appropriate qualifications (fame, football, politician, TV chef or even a model!)and the publishing market is currently pretty dire. Taking a gamble is a long lost art.
