"At thirteen there is very little you can expect to salvage from loving someone...No one will let you love yet. You're not expected to."

Harriet Said....

Literary

Fontana/Collins

<p>In the remote cottage in Wales, two urban couples are spending their holiday with an idealistic owner and his protege.  At the beginning everything is idyllic - the mixed group of adults and children wrangling at each other, exploring the woods, and trying to keep amused or at least warm.  But catastrophe lurks behind every tree - Joseph's joy with his young son Roland is balanced by arguments with his girlfriend Dotty and the other misfits. All are self-absorbed, somewhat out of step with ordinary life, and as the holiday continues their relationships start to show their cracks, culminating in a tragic finale.  "Funny, acute and horrifyingly perceptive...Miss Bainbridge rarely misses a trick"  DAILY TELEGRAPH</p>
