Add to basketPaperback. Condition: Very Good. Mark and Claire seem an ideal couple. He is an accountant, she the daughter of a successful businessman. They live in a comfortable middle-class village in Surrey. When the novel opens they are giving a garden party to celebrate their daughters baptism. During the party their son Jeremy is knocked down on the road outside when chasing after an escaped rabbit. He survives, but to all intents as a vegetable. Unable to speak, only grunt, incontinent, spoon-fed and propped up each day in front of a television. The once ideal marriage is troubled by the stress, the pressure caused by Jeremys state of health. Mark holds down his job only because the firm for whom he works gets substantial business from his father-in-law. Claire stays at home, looks after her declining son and young daughter and neglects her husband. Mark suggests a holiday on their own. But Claire refuses, because she worries about leaving Jeremy in care. Mark goes to Portugal on his own and meets a young widow with children on the beach. He is tempted to pursue an affair. He considers divorce, but worries about the guilt of leaving Claire with their crippled son. When her younger sister, Sally, an MP, launches a Private Members Bill to legalise euthanesia, the Press assumes she is doing it for her sister and besiege Mark and Claires home. All the time Jeremys stage of health is in slow decline. But is Jeremy the glue that holds the marriage together, however tenuously? Ann Widdecombe uses the analogy of the dead tree, once the glory of its garden, and now the host for a clematis that once a year covers it in flowers. Jeremy, she says is like the tree, passive; the clematis is the parental love that embraces him. In the climax to the book, Jeremys life reaches a crisis and he dies. What will happen to Mark and Claires marriage now? Will they be up to the challenge of rebuilding their marriage without their son? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
