"As an observer of the play of human kinship and relationship, Jean Stubbs has few equals. Her recent novels, Like We Used to Be, Light in Summer, and Kelly Park, have given us memorable women in unforgettable situations: sisters, mothers, daughters, lovers, each a portrait glowing with the light of insight." "Family Games is a new triumph for Jean Stubbs. As always, her stage is Cornwall, on the rocky shores of England. Her players are the Malpas family, a clan whose bonds are weakened by unguarded emotion and the demands of modern life. And the drama is a Christmas homecoming, in the wake of a death, that brings mother, father, children, and grandchildren together to what they will learn, despite their doubts, is still their home." "Keen of understanding, affectionate in her treatment of the dance of family relations, Jean Stubbs is to her ever-growing readership a cherished voice."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
