註釋
Moving house links many lives—and sets off an unexpected series of events—in this compelling tale from “a novelist of the highest quality” (
The Independent on Sunday
).
What makes a house a home are the stories of the people who live there. And for the briefest of moments—when a house changes hands—the worlds of the sellers and buyers collide . . .
A woman too old and frail to live on her own sells her apartment to a middle-aged couple forced to downsize due to financial woes. Their modest house proves the perfect place for an upper-middle-class family to start over after the son is accused of a dreadful crime. The home they flee catches the eye of a washed-up pop star who can no longer afford his country estate, one that has been secretly purchased to hide a scandalous royal dalliance.
With her trademark wit and verve, Gillian White shows the unexpected ways we can affect each other’s lives when one FOR SALE sign sets off a chain reaction . . .
