Description

Joanna Trollope's thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of family dynamics and relationships. When eight-year-old Rufus' parents divorce, he finds himself caught in the middle of new relationships and conflicting loyalties.

The arrival of Matthew, Josie's new husband, and Elizabeth, Tom's friend, adds to the mix, but so do the teenagers from Matthew's previous marriage, who are not eager to accept their stepmother. As Rufus navigates his changing family situation, he begins to question his own feelings about a potential stepmother.

This moving novel is a nuanced portrayal of love, relationships and the challenges of growing up.
