"In this haunting new novel, the act of forgetting is as strange and interesting as the power of remembering." —The New York Times Book Review
An enjoyable read filled with memorable characters and secrets from Booker Prize winner Penelope Lively
Allersmead is a big shabby Victorian suburban house. The perfect place to grow up for elegant Sandra, difficult Gina, destructive Paul, considerate Katie, clever Roger and flighty Clare.
But was it?
Now adults, the children return to Allersmead one by one. To their home-making mother and aloof writer father, and a house that for years has played silent witness to a family's secrets.
And one devastating secret of which no one speaks . . .
