A Nice Change by Nina Bawden
Amy thought the Hotel Parthenon in Greece would be a nice change for her Labour MP husband, Tom. But the place is overrun with a host of unlikely characters who fall in and out of love with one another, including Tom's ex-mistress, his rakish father, and the enigmatic, elegant twins, Jane and Tish.
Nina Bawden (1925-2012) was one of Britain's best-loved writers for both adults and children. Several of her children's books - Carrie's War, a Phoenix Award winner;The Peppermint Pig, which won the Guardian Fiction Award; and Keeping Henry - have become contemporary classics. She wrote over forty novels, slightly more than half of which are for adults, and she was shortlisted for the 1987 Man Booker Prize for Circles of Deceit. She received the prestigious S T Dupont Golden Pen Award for a lifetime's contribution to literature in 2004, and in 2010 The Birds on the Trees was shortlisted for the Lost Booker of 1970.
