Records d'una família que ha d'afrontar noves experiències familiars. ( ) Isobel and Giles live in a huge house in Scotland, which is partly converted to an arts/drama centre. Several other family members and friends live there, or arrive during the novel. Realistic and three-dimensional characters, on the whole, with a particularly likeable and sympathetic boy on the autistic spectrum. There are a few caricatured - and mostly amusing - neighbours, and the villain of the piece isn't entirely believable. But I loved this book, perhaps all the more on re-reading eighteen years after first acquiring it. Excellent! Highly recommended to anyone who likes thoughtful women's fiction. Full review here: https://suesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2020/01/off-balance-by-mary-sheepshanks.htm... La germana de la mestressa de la casa torna a Escòcia després de viure a Sudàfrica, on ha viscut el seu matrimoni i divorci. S'instal·la amb ells i, des de l'inici, la convivència es planteja difícil, sobretot perquè ella havia estat (i està) enamorada del seu cunyat i no suporta ni la seva encantadora germana ni els seus nebots, un d'ells amb una important discapacitat psicològica; tot això amanit en l'organització d'un festival musical a la seva mansió. La història és totalment previsible. El més bonic: la introducció del personatge del nen discapacitat. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Isobel and Giles Grant are happily married, with two adored children and a glorious house in Scotland. They are about to fulfill a lifelong dream - the launch of the Glendrochatt Arts Centre, but beneath the surface there are fault lines that threaten their stability. When Isobel's elder sister, and Giles's former lover, Lorna, return from South Africa and a disastrous marriage, the cracks widen. It seems as though the Grants are about to be thrown off balance.
