Description
Cecilia Banks' life is complicated. Her son Ian's unexpected arrival with a brief fling has left her no choice but to take him in. As she navigates this new challenge, she faces several more: her cancer diagnosis and its impact on those around her, including her novelist friend Helen; the ambivalent attitude of motherhood revealed by Helen's observations; and her husband Tim's self-effacement. However, Cecilia is not alone. Sister Diana Clegg in a convent in Hastings holds the ties that bind everyone to each other, as well as to strangers yet unmet. As events unfold and the truth about Ian's arrival is revealed, the book invites us to examine madness, guilt, mortal dread, and resilience. With its frank, courageous, and entertaining portrayal of complex human emotions, this novel will leave no one unchanged.
