'The tide's against us, hadn't you noticed? People haven't got that much time for the past nowadays'
Anne Linton is living a split life. Her father has suffered a stroke and most weekends she abandons her family and takes the road to Lichfield to be with him before he dies. But the longer she spends there, the more she is drawn into another life. Over a lingering summer she embarks on an affair, tries to save an old cottage from developers and discovers that her own father was not entirely the man she has always imagined him to be. As she begins to see the influence of the past everywhere she turns, Anne's present becomes more and more uncertain . . .
'Unfailingly literate, thoughtful and touching' Washington Post
