2023: Secrets and family dynamics
When Hope’s only son Paul met and married Edie, Hope was delighted that he had found love and was settling down to make his own family. Hope has loved bringing up her own child, and is happy to step in and help out now and again – but is always worried about overstepping the line between grandmother and mother.
Edie was hoping that having children with Paul would fulfil her as much as her busy job as a barrister has. But the reality is far from her dream. And with her mother-in-law Hope constantly poking her nose in where it’s not wanted, she finds herself frustrated and alone.
Both women could be each other’s greatest ally, but both have secrets that could ruin their relationship. Secrets neither wants Paul to uncover…
A story of family across London, Cornwall and Greece
The locations are not really that important in the novel and don’t make any part of the story to be honest. The focus is on the characters but the times they travel, they do it for a reason and to think about family dynamics away from their London homes. London is the main setting of the novel and does get several lookins but no locations as such. A few mentions as it’s the characters and the plot that matter here.
