Spring, 1947. In a few months' time the British flag will be lowered all over India, and with Independence thousands of those who made their lives there - as planters, civil servants, or in the Indian army - will be returning to England.

Among those coming home, as everyone speaks of it, are Will and Flo Sutherland, who fell in love at the end of the war. India has been the defining experience of their lives: how will they make a new life now?

Sue Gee's new novel is filled with pathos and humour, beautifully evoking an all-but vanished world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ode to sadness
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2014
Verified Purchase
An ordinary family doing ordinary things, going through life in an ordinary way and coping with ordinary problems. Not very exciting to start with.
After the publication of Salambo, Gustave Flaubert was criticised for his choices of plot and characters : exotic princesses, golden palaces set in 3rd century B.C. He replied that, if he wanted to, he could write a novel on a patch of cabbages, and that, in fact, he had already done so with Madame Bovary.
So, why did Sue Gee's own patch of cabbages keep me on the edge of my seat, as if it had been a thriller ?
I will hazard a guess : pick any human being at random in a crowd, and you will find that he or she has gone through very painful moments in life ; but it takes talent to turn this ordinary life into a novel. Sue Gee's style is, as usual, wonderful, musical, poetic and sensitive. As with her short stories, the atmosphere she creates is one of unrelenting sadness. Nothing oppressive of nightmarish : just the constant presence of an every day sense of failure. The dusty taste of life itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Sue Gee winner
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 29, 2013

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I've read all of Sue Gee's novels and never found one that didn't fully engage me from the first page and this one is no different.

I was born in 1951 and so much of the early years of Flo and Will's marriage and family life reminded me of my own childhood; that apart, it gives any reader of whatever age a marvellous insight into life in those post war years of hardship and struggle and family life in general.

The characters are varied and the reader soon feels involved in their story and feelings. I was totally gripped by this book and would recommend it to anyone wanting to escape into another world and time, or a fantastic holiday read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not her best - SPOILER ALERT
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 24, 2019

I love Sue Gee's books - the most favourite is Reading in Bed. I DID enjoy the simple everyday story of the family, but having followed all their ups and downs over a lifetime I really wanted to know how Flo and Will would 'get on' once all alone in later life, and what she wrote about 'all her life'.

5.0 out of 5 stars I’m a fan
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2019

It would be unfair to tag Sue Gee’s books as simple stories, though that’s what they are. Real life stories. Honest, fair, full of the highs and lows of people making the effort to live credible lives with differing degrees of success, formed and informed by their genes, upbringing and life experiences. Soldiering on, sometimes blindly, but more often with hope, miraculously bubbling up. Always anchored in the realities of the physical world she describes so well. Very satisfying.
