The Sunday Times top 10 bestselling summer read from author of HAMNET and THE MARRIAGE PORTRAIT *Over 380,000 copies sold* Shortlisted for the 2013 Costa Novel Award 'Addictive. Told with real humanity, warmth, and infectious love' Observer _____ It's July 1976 and London is in the grip of a heatwave. It hasn't rained for months, the gardens are filled with aphids, water comes from a standpipe, and Robert Riordan tells his wife Gretta that he's going round the corner to buy a newspaper. He doesn't come back.

None of them suspects that their mother might have an explanation that even now she cannot share. _____ 'Superlative.
