The characters'reactions to the challenges they face are frank and unmelodramatic; there is a refreshing honesty about the numbness that comes from discovering an infidelity, and the shame that comes with perpetrating one.

Her marriage has faltered because she and her husband can't have children, and yet she must be a mother to her own parents in their old age;it's a poignant combination.' Telegraph
