Message to previous owners signed by the author to title page. A network of deep friendships connects the members of two families in the town of Whittingbourne - intelligent, ordinary, recognisable families. Laurence and Hilary run The Bee House, a small country hotel, with their three adolescent sons in tow, while Gina and Fergus occupy High Place, a decorator's showcase, with their one daughter and a keen focust on domestic rightness. With her incomparable gift for vividly portraying every member of the family, from teenagers aching for stability to unwed grandmothers finding true love at eighty, the author has given us a story of our times that few will fail to recognise. 261 pp.
