'Heart and humour in abundance...full of sex, love, loss and pool
parties' The Times After fifty years in London, Alice wants to live
out her days in the land of her birth. Her children are divided on
whether she stays or goes, and in the wake of their father's death,
the imagined stability of the family begins to fray. Meanwhile
youngest daughter Melissa has never let go of a love she lost, and
Michael in return, now married to Nicole, is haunted by the failed
perfection of the past. As Alice's final decision draws closer, all
that is hidden between them rises to the surface . . . Set against
the shadows of a city and a country in turmoil, Diana Evans's
ordinary people confront fundamental questions. How should we raise
our children? How to do right by our parents? And how, in the midst
of everything, can we satisfy ourselves? *SHORTLISTED FOR THE
ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION 2023* 'A gorgeous novel from one
of our most outstanding writers' Bernardine Evaristo 'Diana Evans
is fast proving herself a novelist to rank alongside Anne Tyler'
Daily Mail 'A warm but devastating narrative... Like any Evans
novel, it is unputdownable' Harper's Bazaar
