A TALE OF A TRAGEDY SEEPING THROUGH GENERATIONS  AND A FAMILY FRACTURED BY HISTORY AND DESIRE
'Bad Relations is an amazing achievement and one of the most satisfying books you're likely to
read this year' The Times'Haunting and beautiful... In recent British fiction I can think only
of Tessa Hadley who rivals Connolly in exacting such intricate  compelling drama from
close-knit families... I don't often wish a book were longer  but this one I did' ObserverOn
the battlefields of the Crimea  William Gale cradles the still-warm body of his brother.
William's experience of war will bring about a change in him that will reverberate through his
family over the next two centuries.In the 1970s  William's descendants invite Stephen  a
distant relation  to stay in their house in the English countryside - but their golden summer
entanglements will end in a shocking fall from grace.Half a century later  a confrontation
between the surviving members of the family will culminate in a terrible reckoning.'The
characters in Bad Relations are so brilliantly real  so wonderfully compelling at their best 
and at their worst  that I can't get them out of my head. A wonderful novel' Nina Stibbe'This
is an Atonement-like novel about the messy stuff that is family life' Spectator'A compelling
family saga' Sunday Times
