An elegant reissue of the classic novel
'Charming ... Engrossing' Sunday Times
'Beautifully poignant, insightful and grown-up' Mirror
The Stone family live a fairy-tale existence in their home in rural Norfolk, complete with adorable children, glamorous parents and postcard-perfect seaside picnics. Nick, Angel and their family lead a charmed life. And yet beneath the surface all is not as it seems.
Why is Nick away so often? Where is the laughter? And what is happening to the children?
We all want a perfect life, but at what price?
