Book description
After building an empire that has made her a legend in business,
Olivia spends months each year planning a lavish holiday for everyone
in her family to enjoy. This summer she has arranged a dream trip on a
luxurious yacht in the Mediterranean, which she hopes will be the most
memorable of all. More than anything, she hopes to express her love
and her regret at all the important times she missed during her
children's early years.
But her younger daughter, Cassie, a hip London music producer,
refuses the invitation altogether as she does every year. Liz, her
older daughter, is preoccupied with a chance to recapture her dream of
being a writer and is terrified of failure, again. And her sons John
and Phillip work for her, for better or worse, with wives who wish
they didn't. Immersed in the splendour of the Riviera, this should be
a summer to remember, but old resentments die hard, and Olivia is
still running the business full-time.
As each of these individuals confront the past and the challenges of
the present and future, they also learn to accept the enduring,
unconditional love of their family - and a mother who is strong enough
to take more than her fair share of the blame, and loving enough to
accept them as they really are. The question is: can they do the same
for her?
