From AudioFile:
Family interaction and personal identity are at the core of Dewar's novel. Roz left her family 10 years earlier and is still uncomfortable facing them at her ex-husband's mother funeral. Roz spends the book ruminating about the events that led up to her leaving, what happened afterward, and how she managed to have a relationship with her children. Her children reflect on the same. In low tones and subtle intonations Vivien Heilbron sorts out the timeline that shifts from present to past. Curt, fragmented sentences and British slang flow without a hitch, but when she reads asides and internal thoughts, her voice becomes very difficult to hear.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When Roz's silent, compulsive husband refused to discuss his problem, when her children seemed embroiled in their own lives, Roz did the unthinkable - she walked out. She did not know that her children would not understand, would not forgive her. She had one moment of joy, shutting the door, leaving, followed by ten years of guilt.Then the death of the family matriarch Nan reunites Roz, now with a career, a flat and a lover, with her family. Histrionic Zoe and infuriatingly laid-back Jamie arrive on her doorstep. Suddenly Roz is a mother again. A human soup is stirred, and dark family secrets are revealed. But Roz soon realises that her children have only returned to her so that, in the proper scheme of things, they can leave her. Rather than she leaving them. A witty and beautifully observed novel that looks deep into the secrets of family life Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
