Description

Ten years have passed since Roz committed the ultimate sin of motherhood: she left her family behind when she walked out on her husband. Now, drawn back into that world by the death of their redoutable grandmother, Nan, Roz finds herself embroiled in the lives of her grown-up children, laid-back Jamie and sexually energetic Zoe. And she realises that they have returned to her so that they might leave her in the proper scheme of things. Rather than she leaving them. As the reader is taken from a chaotic flat in London to a beautiful wintery beach on Mull, a human soup is stirred, bickering turns to banter and people learn to forgive.
