Then she meets aspiring novelist Sam, her next door neighbour, a man who shouldn't, but does, have time on his hands. And he makes her laugh. But what about his wife, and their daughter Marion, dreaming her way through adolescenceCLOSE TO HOME is a novel of one hot summer, of passion and dislocation, and of lives converging in unexpected ways.Reviews
