Stella Brentwood, retired anthropologist, has studied societies as exotic and remote as the villages scattered along the Nile Delta. However, she finds life in the small Somerset village where she has retired as subtle and elaborate a system to penetrate as any she has met. In particular she trys to fathom her fierce neighbour, Karen Hiscox, who governs her family with a menacing force. Interspersed with letters, journal entries and classified adverts, Penelope Lively's new novel sees Stella try to adjust to her new surroundings and sinister neighbours, whilst assessing the relationships and explorations which have defined the spiderweb of her life.
