Publisher's Synopsis
Ezra and Sheena Pepin live in Blenheim Orchard in North Oxford with their three children: 14-year-old Blaise, entering the stormy world of adolescence; Hector, eleven and precociously clever; and sweet Louie, three years old and the family tyrant. Ezra, a benignly disaffected employee at Isis Water, has abandoned his calling as an anthropologist; Sheena has inadvertently found hers running a travel company. They are just like everyone else - over-worked, worried about the children, trying to keep their marriage on an even keel. And then change comes knocking at their door and the Pepin family are never quite the same again...
