Summary

Rachel has always loved being at the centre of her large family. She has fiercely devoted herself to her three sons all their lives, and continues to do so even now they are all grown up. They are, of course, devoted to her – she and Anthony, their father, hold the family together at their big, beautiful, ramshackle house near the wide, bird-haunted coast of Suffolk.

But when Luke, her youngest, gets married, Rachel finds that control is slipping away. Other people seem to be becoming more important to her children than she is, and she can no longer rely on her role as undisputed matriarch. A power struggle develops which can only end in unhappiness; her three daughters-in-law want to do things their own way, and so, to her grief, do her sons....

Brilliant family saga

As usual a brilliant easy listen from Joanna Trollope. I was so involved in the characters and story line that I could not stop listening. The reader was perfect too.

Very well observed

Loved it, although a bit too near to life! As always, Joanna Trollope writes very well.
