Rosemarie leaned her weight on the big kitchen knife with blind efficiency. No one wanted to know the real secrets , not the really big ones. And, she thought emphatically, I don't want anyone to know mine!
On Christmas Eve in 1967, a London woman unhappily transplanted to the Australian suburbs makes a decision that will change forever the lives of her four young children. Forty years on, those children are adept at concealing their shared pain. Deborah has a demanding political career, James is a successful artist, Robert a respected school principal. Only Meredith, the baby of the family seems struck. But as their father begins to lose his grip on reality, they find themselves floundering in an unfamiliar sea. And their past is about to reach into the present in ways that will shock and challenge them all.

Caught today.
This was a fascinating read about family dysfunction and its effect on different family members. Not all the characters are likable, but some are less likable than others. Well written with a good solid plot exploring many issues.
Worth reading.
