The Past

Fiction by Tessa Hadley

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/

Adult siblings Alice, Fern, Harriet, and Roland journey with their respective families to their grandparents' cottage in the country, to spend a three-week holiday together and to decide what to do with the old place. Unsurprisingly, (Three weeks?! Seriously?!) there is a bit too much togetherness going on during their stay and tensions erupt.

This was a pretty good character story but I had some trouble liking these people for a lot of the time. Also I don't like the title; although there is a flashback to the past in the middle of the story, the book is mostly about the present. I did like the ending.



I also read by this author: Clever Girl
