The six siblings growing up in Allersmead, a shabby, rambling Victorian pile, shared an apparently idyllic childhood with their earth mother, remote father and the au pair. Many years later and scattered throughout the world, as that time is reviewed through adult eyes and with adult voices a very different picture emerges, while revealing the subsequent diverse paths that their lives have taken. Beautifully told - I loved it.
