A novel of greed, love and family. When Helen Reed, a wealthy
widow, engages young masseur, David Sweeney, to alleviate the pain
of her final days, her voracious brood move in with other plans. A
novel of greed, love and family. When Helen Reed, a wealthy widow,
engages young masseur, David Sweeney, to alleviate the pain of her
final days of illness, her brood move in voraciously with other
plans. Trespassis a fascinating portrait of a family, of a
moribund, spirited woman living life to the full for as long as she
has it. It's the tale of a young girl coming of age, of a
musician's fear of failure, an artist's quest for success and about
the financial collapse of a man whose city career has just fallen
apart. Joan Hawkins' third novel is set in an idyllic New England
haven, where a newly-constructed swimming pool in the leafy grounds
of Helen's home becomes a symbol of her independence and of her
family's deepest resentments. While masseur David Sweeney brings
relief and calm to the widow's pain, the underbelly of Helen Reed's
summer cottage cannot be brushed under the Persian carpet. Its
quagmire of misguided dreams, desires and betrayals make truth and
beauty as elusive as the ripples across the pool in her yard.
