Trespass

This is the story of two sets of siblings - both brother and sister, but there the resemblance ends. Anthony Verey was once the man to know among London’s beautiful people. A fabulously wealthy antiques dealer, he has lost his cachet and much of his money and turns to his sister to save him - as she has done throughout their lives. She suggests he come to stay with her and her plain and untalented partner Kitty in their French farmhouse. Across the channel, Aramon Lunel lives in a remote valley in the old stone farmhouse that Lunels have lived in for centuries. He’s an alcoholic, haunted by the violence of his past, and looking to flick off the farmhouse for a fabulous sum of money to a wealthy foreigner. In fleeing his village, he hopes to escape his demons. His sister, Audrun, lives in a modern bungalow at the edge of the farm. She has been betrayed by those who should have protected her and now she plots her revenge. When Anthony Verey turns up at the Mas Lunel to buy the farmhouse and restore it, and him, the brothers and sisters are brought together with disastrous consequences. Recommended and a great one for the book clubs.
