Penelope Lively
HarperPerennial, $13 (paper)
Set in the English countryside during a family’s summer vacation, this novel weaves together the painful memories of a mother whose husband was adulterous and the fears of her daughter who feels the same pain from her own husband’s wanderlust. As the drama unfolds, Lively’s style deftly mirrors her characters’ anguish.
