Bonnie Burnard - A Good House

Beschrijving boek

When Bill Chambers returns home from the War his sole wish is to treasure and protect his family. He and Sylvia, and later Margaret, who enters the family during a crisis and stays to become its emotional stronghold, watch the children grow: Patrick, the eldest, for whom life becomes a series of compromises; Paul, enjoying a perfect marriage but with an imperfect child and Daphne, always the oddball, making her own rules and happily paying the price. An utterly compelling family story, emotionally rewarding and profoundly wise, the lives of this ordinary, functional family take on a significance that can only make us value our own lives more.
