At Hawthorn Time by Melissa Harrison




This is a fiction novel by the author of Rain

I loved the variety of characters from young to old and all are utterly believable.
I also enjoyed the slowly disintegrating marriage of Howard and Kitty is beautifully done - maybe hints of green shoots or maybe a separation and divorce - we are left wondering.
She also beautifully writes descriptions of the English countryside.

The ending was totally unexpected and slightly shocking - and it felt really unfinished, like she has just got bored with writing.
Also I did find the switching between characters confusing.
