The Birds on the Trees by Nina Bawden

4.0

I really wasn't sure about this at first. All the characters seemed insufferably middle class and a bit stereotyped but I found myself warming to them unexpectedly. The fraught relationship between mother and daughter & their inability to translate inner feelings and meanings into outward display was beautifully written. I ended up very invested in all of them.
