Family Games

Description for FAMILY GAMES by Jean Stubbs:

A storyteller of immense insight and power, Jean Stubbs has captivated readers with her moving depictions of family life. Now, in her most powerful novel to date, she tells the poignant and unforgettable story of the estranged Malpas clan...

Anthony Malpas, brilliant patriarch who expected so much from his offspring--and gave so little in return.

Blanche Malpas, the willful artist who found that the sweetness of success was not enough to heal the hurts of a troubled childhood.

Natalie Malpas, the mysterious aunt who renounced the family only to return with a secret that could shatter them all.

Gathered in the breathtaking Cornish countryside, they will feud and celebrate, share heartbreak and the healing power of forgiveness in an emotionally charged homecoming that will teach them about life, love ... and each other.
