'Outdoes Muriel Spark and Evelyn Waugh' Margaret Drabble, Observer

Accused of child abuse, Father Roger Tree confesses at once; it masks a darker secret. Meanwhile his sister Romola faces a future without their beloved brother, the novelist Hereward Tree. Can she live with the ending of his last book? And then there is Hereward's much younger lover, Carina, who takes fate into her own hands. But it is Betty Winterborne, forced to re-examine the death of her son Mark twenty years before, who has the courage to face the truth.

There are the lies we tell others, and the lies we tell ourselves. This is a story about the difference.
