    About this ebook

    When Owen and Jan take their three children on holiday in North Wales their life as a family is already unravelling. As relationships are made and broken a carefully pieced patchwork of events unfolds; seen from the different perspectives of parents and children, each sealed in with their own perceptions. Years pass and the family meet again on holiday in South Wales. As the pattern of relationships shift and family secrets are revealed, new resolutions must be negotiated.

      That old rage for order: how my father drove a square mouthed mower over-and-back, over-and-back, each row of neatly trimmed grass cut just like he told his barber: boy’s short, regular. O pioneer, taming this joke bit of prairie, no bindweed or dog

      By the time I was 25, there were only two things I remembered about Mumma. The first was that she smelled of watermelons, the second was that we were happy. We’d taken our father’s name of course, but a name is only half a story. The other half exist
