Another stunning read from the maestro of words. A story of families and of ups and downs and how the truth and honesty are the best foundations in life.
The Kellaway family have always been known to be the wealthy ones on the street. Daisy who lives next door envies their lifestyle- flash cars and clothes and nights out, whilst she works and studies, living at a house which is rather run down. Lawrence Kellaway wanted to be a footballer but was injured at a crucial stage and never made it. It appears since then he has tried to live up to that expectation of being the best and wanting the best for his family- at whatever cost. He has made numerous bad business judgments at one point leading to the family upping sticks and moving from Australia to get away from his debts. His son is in love with Jake, Daisy’s brother, no-one knows either boy is gay as they are unsure as to how the families will react. Lawrence is in deep this time and his wife is getting an inkling hopefully before it's too late. It seems there are lots of secrets around one way or another. Can everyone work out their issues without yet another bombshell landing?
This is one of those books that draws you in and keeps you there. I'm smiling writing this, as there is perhaps something reflective between the pages for us all. Of how the young sometimes don’t listen to the older members of the planet- the ones who have seen things and hence have experience - but the young have to make their own pathway, very often at their own cost. The grass isn't always greener and behind closed curtains there’s a world we do not know. There’s a whole list of adages I could say about this. People in glass houses etc and be careful what you wish for, as the best diamond isn't always the polished one. A compelling, true gem of a read.
