Items related to Just for the Summer
Synopsis
A summer holiday in Cornwall is full of surprises.
Every July, the lucky owners of Cornish holiday homes set off for their annual break. They close up their desirable semis in smartish London suburbs -- having turned off the Aga and turned on the burglar alarm -- and look forward to a carefree, restful, somehow more fulfilling summer.
Clare is more than usually ready for her holiday. Her daughter, Miranda, is hitting adolescence bigtime, and her husband Jack is harbouring unsettling thoughts of a change in lifestyle. No wonder that Clare is contemplating a bit of extra-marital adventure, possibly with Eliot, the successful, heavy-drinking author in the adjoining holiday property.
Unexpected disasters occur, revelations are made and, as the summer ends, real life will never be quite the same again.

From AudioFile
It's good to know that summer holidays are the same the world over, whether in Cornwall, England, or Kennebunkport, Maine. Families come together, play out social rituals, and try to keep their children from disaster.This particular vacation account is read with alacrity by Rachel Atkins, who puts the listener in the mood for all the events in the community and makes us receptive to the struggling predicaments and the simple pleasures of every character. She brings joy to her voice and reads with a smile. J.P. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
