The Child's Child by Barbara Vine
2.0
When their grandmother dies, Grace and Andrew Easton inherit her sprawling, book-filled London home, Dinmont House. Rather than sell it, the adult siblings move in together, splitting the numerous bedrooms and studies. The arrangement is unusual, but ideal for the affectionate pair—until the day Andrew brings home a new boyfriend.
This was a huge disappointment as I usually enjoy Barbara Vine's books. The characters were unlikeable, the story was dull, the present-day story seems to chop and change through tenses as if the author couldn't decide whether to write in the present tense or the past... The wartime story was so long that I'd forgotten who most of the characters were in the present day. Not recommended although I'll still give it two stars as I stayed with it until the end.
