Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.


Every July, the lucky owners of Cornish holiday homes set off for their annual break. They close up their desirable semis in smartish London suburbs - having turned off the Aga and turned on the burglar alarm - and look forward to a carefree, restful, somehow more fulfilling summer.

Clare is more than usually ready for her holiday. Her daughter, Miranda, is hitting adolescence bigtime, and her husband Jack is harbouring unsettling thoughts of a change in lifestyle. No wonder that Clare is contemplating a bit of extra-marital adventure, possibly with Eliot, the successful, heavy-drinking author in the adjoining holiday property.

Unexpected disasters occur, revelations are made and, as the summer ends, real life will never be quite the same again.

I read the book aged 16... So about 20 years ago. There's elements which are endearing. Astley captures holiday life nicely along with the foibles of family holidays which I'd not appreciated as a teenager. On the downside it's hard to feel sorry for people with two houses and modern teenagers are simply too glued to their phones nowadays to take notice of anyone, let alone actually talk to anyone in person. Rachel Atkins performance is great, I have it four stars simply because her interpretation of Elliott made him sound like he had speech aphasia. Until I realised she was doing an Irish accent. You'll get over this pretty quickly.
