Publisher's Synopsis
Helen and Edward Glover, middle-aged brother and sister, both unmarried, navigate the difficult weeks and months following the death of their domineering and manipulative mother. They have lost touch with the England of the 1980s, and their upbringing has made it hard for them to survive. Helen is confronted with a crisis of emotion she cannot resolve; Edward is deliberately blind to an important part of his nature. Passing On is the subtle and challenging story about what parents do to children and about inheritance.
