[close] The Past by Tessa Hadley involves four siblings who gather at their grandparent’s home to decide whether to sell the property that they have enjoyed visiting all their lives or perform the necessary, but expensive repairs. I haven't read Hadley before, but I look forward to reading her other work. If you are looking for a lot of action, then this probably isn't the book for you, but for those who enjoy beautiful writing then, this novel is a priceless gem and really, for me, it was unputdownable.

“All the siblings felt sometimes, as the days of their holiday passed, the sheer irritation and perplexity of family coexistence: how it fretted away at the love and attachment which were nonetheless intense and enduring when they were apart." pg. 91 e-galley.
