Book description
"Start reading this absorbing novel and I promise you the toast will burn and the kettle boil dry ….. a highly plausible, utterly authentic, beautifully written slice of contemporary life" Val Hennessy in the Daily Mail
It begins with a funeral, which is always promising. The funeral is mother’s, and she is not mourned ….. Around her grave are her children.. Helen and Edward Glover, 52 and 49 respectively, mild and shabby, both of them unmarried ….. have never left home, or not for very long. Mother – bossy, selfish and limited – has dominated their lives ….. What will they do now that mother has gone? How will their lives change? That is what Passing On is about.
