*NOMINATED FOR THE COSTA NOVEL AWARD* Family Album 'a hugely
enjoyable read' from Booker Prize winner Penelope Lively 'This
novel should delight her regular readers and ensnare new ones'
Evening Standard Allersmead is a big shabby Victorian suburban
house. The perfect place to grow up for elegant Sandra, difficult
Gina, destructive Paul, considerate Katie, clever Roger and flighty
Clare. But was it? Now adults, the children return to Allersmead
one by one. To their home-making mother and aloof writer father,
and a house that for years has played silent witness to a family's
secrets. And one devastating secret of which no one speaks . . .
'One of those ridiculously simple, ridiculously readable novels
whose artistry only becomes apparent when you put it down' Sunday
