This is middle-England, Radio 4 territory with close professional friends since university now in their 60s, so lots of shared history and a good understanding of each other … or so they believe. During the course of the two families holidaying in the Lakes, part of their security shatters. One has a brain tumour, another is charged with sexual harassment and a third has a gender crisis.
Behind all this is a wonderfully batty distant cousin going off the rails. All good clean family life drawn together in an excellent read.
Comparison: Deborah Moggach, Penelope Lively, Jane Gardam.
Opening at the Hay Festival, and ending with the prospect of a spring wedding, Sue Gee's new novel is a lively story of tangled relationships and the sustaining powers of good books, loyal friends and conversation.
