Reading this reminded me of the quintessential pleasure of novels. This delicious allowance: you can take your time exploring all the subtleties in the vast emotional landscape of a family.

Got to page 150 and don't think I am going to finish. I am not connecting with the characters.

Beautifully written. A lovely story, sad and bittersweet, with a shock when you discover what the past has been hiding. Loved the way the past and present dovetailed (though sometimes it took a while to work out which character was speaking each section).
Definitely an author to watch, a magnificently accomplished debut.
