When a family of mother, stepfather, + 2 teenage children visit their Norfolk holiday home, they all have secrets that are tearing them apart. A stranger Amber appears who Eve + Michael both assume is the others friend. This strange yng woman befriends the children, + life will never be the same again. I enjoyed as always one of Smith's earlier works set in the mid-2000s. She writes children so well + creates tension within ordinary situations.
