A very big house in the country
Sandy, Claire2015
Book
For one long hot summer in Devon, three families are sharing one very big house in the country. The Herreras, comprising two tired parents, three grumbling children and one promiscuous dog; the Littles - he's loaded (despite two divorces and five kids) and she's gorgeous, but maybe the equation for a truly happy marriage is a bit more complicated than that; and the Browns, who seem oddly jumpy around people, especially each other. By the pool, new friendships blossom; at the aga door, resentments begin to simmer. Secret crushes are formed and secret cigarettes cadged by the teens, as the adults loosen their inhibitions with litres of white wine and start to get perhaps a little too honest.
