A Tale of Two Families

Más información sobre el libro

From the author of I Capture the Castle comes a delightful tale of sibling relationships, friendship, and forbidden love, set in 1970s England. Suspecting her husband, George, of infidelity, May decides it's time for the family to move to the countryside. She finds a charming house in a lilac grove and sets about creating the perfect home, cooking large meals, and even persuading her sister, June, to move into a cozy cottage on the property with her husband, Robert, who is George's brother. This family arrangement leads to shared meals and enjoyable times, with their grown children, Hugh and Corinna, visiting from London, hinting at romance. The surviving grandparents from both families also move in, forming new bonds. However, the arrival of a cantankerous great aunt exposes the cracks in their complicated relationships and threatens to reveal a significant secret: while May hoped the move would end George's affairs, he has developed feelings for June. The death of a beloved character ultimately shifts the dynamics, leading to a resolution that brings happiness and closure to the tangled family saga.
