Description

A tragedy that echoes through generations, a family fractured by history and desire. Cressida Connolly's Bad Relations is a haunting and beautiful novel about the messy stuff that is family life. The story begins on the battlefields of the Crimea, where a pivotal moment in the past sets off a chain of events that reverberate through the family for centuries to come. The novel then jumps forward in time to the 1970s, where a golden summer of entanglements ends in a shocking fall from grace. Half a century later, a confrontation between the surviving members of the family culminates in a terrible reckoning. The characters in Bad Relations are so brilliantly real, so wonderfully compelling at their best, and at their worst, that they linger long after the final page is turned.
