Family Secrets

I enjoyed Family Secrets by Liz Byrski which is set in Tasmania, France and England.  Head of the family Gerald Hawkins has died after a prolonged illness.  His wife Connie has nursed him at home through this difficult period and now that he's gone she resolves to live her own life.  She travels to France to renew her friendship with Flora, Gerald's sister.  Together they travel to England and visit places from their youth.  Connie's children Andrew and Kerry, with their families are rearranging their lives with different priorities.  All the characters face new challenges and resolve some long-standing issues.  This was a good "holiday read". 31/2/5
