Nina is worried about her son; he has a strange new girlfriend, and it looks like he's on drugs. Guy is worried about his wife, Jane, who's picked up some quite bizarre habits. But Jane is worried about herself; motherhood isn't working out and neither, it seems, is marriage. Then there's Hugo, out of the picture for seventeen years, ever since that terrible desert trip. If he returns he could destroy Jane and Guy's marriage. Unless Nina gets there first. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The story features Nina, a single mother of a son who is just about to go to university, and Guy and Jane, a couple going through a difficult patch and who have two young daughters, one of whom Jane struggles to deal with. The connection between them isn't clear until the middle section and the part about four students taking a field trip to the Algerian desert.
I thought the modern day Nina was great, really well written and some of her thoughts and actions did make me laugh. Clare Chambers does have a style of writing that is quite dry and humorous. Guy and Jane were also interesting as a couple.
Perhaps the book was just a little too long and the middle section a bit drawn out, but I did enjoy much of the story. (
