This book is a valuable testimony on parent-child relationships (adults) and those "children" them. After the death of the father, the events rush and the family home is to be sold. That's siblings the opportunity to meet. The mother wants more than just recreating his "brood" as in the old days. But time passed, they often have a family, have settled more or less well in life. The memories go back, sometimes sour, experienced differently by some and by others; dramas are often concealed. But a miracle happen so quickly? Same person as in "Under high heat" Maggie O'Farrell and Marya JC Oates.
