Close Relations (Unabridged‪)‬

When a married man runs off with a young woman, his wife catapults back into the lives of their grown-up children. From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Gordon Hammond, 65, a builder who has built up his own, modestly successful business, has a heart attack. Whilst recovering in hospital he falls in love with April, a young black nurse, and leaves Dorothy, his wife of 45 years, to set up home with her.

Dorothy is released like a loose cannon into the lives of her three daughters and chaos ensues. More relationships break up, passions run high and dramatic developments ensue that will change the Hammond family forever.
