The hidden cottage

Mia Channing appears to have an enviable life: a beautiful home in the village of Little Pelham, a happy, stable marriage, a job she enjoys and three grown-up children to whom she's devoted. But appearances are deceiving; the truth is that it's all a precarious balancing act. When the family gather for her son's thirtieth birthday, Daisy, her youngest daughter, drops a bombshell in only the way Daisy can. Once again Mia finds herself cast in the role of peacemaker. It's a role she's tired of. Not surprisingly, Mia longs for escape.

  • "Het leven van een getrouwde Engelse moeder van drie volwassen kinderen wordt overhoop gehaald als ze verliefd wordt op een nieuwe dorpsbewoner."
  • "Family life for Mia Channing has always been a carefully orchestrated balancing act. Her husband, Jeff, sees himself as the Larger than Life Patriarch and has always assigned their grown up children very specific roles. Jensen, the eldest, is the Unlovable Awkward One; Eliza, the Distant Smart One; and Daisy, the baby of the family, is the Special One. Mia's own role is that of Devoted Wife and Mediator. When Jensen makes a rare visit home to the village of Little Pelham to celebrate his thirtieth birthday, he brings with him his latest girlfriend and her daughter in tow, his sister Daisy seizes the opportunity to drop the bombshell that she's moving to Australia. It's an evening that marks a turning point in all their lives...Meanwhile yet more change is in the air with the arrival in Little Pelham of wealthy, divorced Owen Fletcher. His return to live in The Hidden Cottage, a place that holds special memories for him, forces Mia to confront the role she's played all these years and to take the risk, finally, of being true to herself."
