2000s: A family holiday…it’s just for ten days…how hard can it be?
The Family Holiday
What you need to know before your trail
The Chamberlain family – Charlie and Daphne, and their children Laura, Scott and Nick – had fantastic summer holidays when they were young. But then, inevitably, the children grew up, and their own messy lives got in the way.
Since their mum died, it feels to them all as if their family just isn’t that close any more. And Charlie fears his kids have all lost their direction.
For his eightieth birthday, all Charlie wants is to bring his family together again – and by some miracle, they’ve all said yes.
It’s only ten days . . . how hard can it be?
Travel Guide
Travel from London to the Cotswolds
Locations in this novel are only mentioned in passing and are vague. There is a sense of moving from the city to a remote country house though as this is important since the family are coming in from London and other cities to spend time in a new, rural setting.
Getting away from it all or trying to escape the past? They head up to the Cotswolds and stay in a house they have rented. A celebration of the father’s 80th birthday. Secrets and all kinds of family drama unfold.
The Cotswolds would be a lovely place for a holiday in real life – but depends who you go with!
