Second Honeymoon - Joanna Trollope

Ben is, at last, leaving home. At twenty-two, hes the youngest of the family. His mother, Edie, is distraught.

Her husband, on the other hand, is rather hoping to get his wife back, after decades of family life. Ben’s brother is struggling in a relationship in which he achieves and earns less than his girlfriend. His sister is wrestling with debts and the end of a turbulent love affair.

As the children’s lives become more complicated, they retreat to the simplicities of their childhood. But can you ever go home again?

Meet the Boyd family and the empty nest, twenty-first-century style.
