Used book – The Grandmothers, Doris Lessing, Isabelle-D Philippe

On the terrace of a café overlooking Baxter's Teeth Bay, two families, who seem to form just one, bask in the sun. Roz and Lil, the grandmothers, still beautiful, surrounded by Tom and Ian, their sons, and their granddaughters, seem to be perfectly happy. Roz and Lil have always been as inseparable as twin sisters, and the affection they have for each other has gradually been compounded by a love, to say the least, troubled, that each has for the other's son. But when Mary, Tom's wife, appears, full of anger, shadow descends on this idyllic scene... With the lightness of her writing, Doris Lessing delivers in The Grandmothers a scathing novel about unspoken truths and concealment.
