From the Back Cover:

The Robinsons, Mike, Kathy, Jack, Mark and Felicity, are back. Living , as ever on a rich diet of love, commotion and stress, they are about to learn that they may have more to celebrate than they thought.

It all begins with one of those days when, as Kathy Robinson puts it, ‘everything smells of fish’. Kathy’s failure to grapple with one of the great turning points of her life means that the rest of the family, friends on the phone, and even the girl who delivers the milk have to suffer until she manages to face the real problem and find a way to embrace the only possible solution.

Meanwhile, Dip, a close family friend, is about to reveal a secret that has been hidden for more than thirty years, and to discover that the deepest wounds can be healed, sometimes in the most unexpected way.
