A review by flogigyahoo
Accidents in the Home by Tessa Hadley

4.0

It seems as if every adult in Tessa Hadley's excellent novel is an adulterer in some way. We are introduced to Clare, married and mother of three, planning an extramarital affair with her best friend's lover; Clare is the daughter of Graham who has apparently been unfaithful to two wives and is now married to a third whom he suspects of carrying on an adulterous affair. Other adults are involved in adultery throughtout this intelligent book, which portrays each adulterer from their individual viewpoints so one feels and accepts their actions as right and correct. This is a subtle book of fine writing and extremely enjoyable. I recommend it and look forward to reading more by Tessa Hadley
