A review by sarahthornton
Familiar Passions by Nina Bawden

3.0

I always wonder which of Bawden's adult fiction or YA/children's fiction is the most brutal and this is another brutal entry for the adult section.

Hermione is stunning, and each of the other characters has been crafted so skillfully, even the disinterested Pansy and smarmy son-in-law that you can see these family feuds continuing exponentially.
