The Past

“Few writers give me such consistent pleasure”. (Zadie Smith). Four siblings meet up in their grandparents` old house for three long, hot summer weeks. But under the idyllic surface lie shattering tensions. Roland has come with his new wife, and his sisters don`t like her. Fran has brought her children, who soon uncover an ugly secret in a ruined cottage in the woods. Alice has invited Kasim, an outsider, who makes plans to seduce Roland`s teenage daughter. And Harriet, the eldest, finds her quiet self-possession ripped apart when passion erupts unexpectedly. Over the course of the holiday, a familiar way of life falls apart forever. “Exquisite”. (The Times). “Wonderful”. (Guardian). “Magnificent”. (Sunday Times).
