    About this ebook

    Iris's family—her ex-husband with his new wife and baby; her son, and her best friend's daughter—gather to pack up their holiday house. They are there for one last time, one last weekend, and one last party—but in the course of this weekend, their connections will be affirmed, and their frailties and secrets revealed—to the reader at least, if not to each other. The Hope Fault is a novel about extended family: about steps and exes and fairy godmothers; about parents and partners who are missing, and the people who replace them.

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      Sep 6, 2022

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.
