Just for the Summer

Clare is more than usually ready for her vacation in Cornwall. Her teenage daughter, Miranda, has been behaving strangely; her husband, Jack, is wanting a change in lifestyle; her small children are tiresome; and she herself is contemplating a bit of extra-marital adventure with Eliot, the overweight author in the adjoining vacation property. Unexpected disasters occur, revelations are made and, as the summer ends, life will never be quite the same again. This delicious novel is a sharp social comedy which will make you laugh out loud.
