Next of Kin (2001)
By Joanna Trollope
Set among farms in Gloucestershire, England, this book traces the story of a family: parents, two sons and their families. The land is important, as Robin (the father)'s family has farmed the land for several generations. After Robin loses his American-born wife Caro to cancer, the family is trying to find their way without its matriarch at the helm when Zoe, a friend of Caro's, visits from London. Offbeat but kind of lovable, Zoe leaves her mark on everyone. This book is about change. It was a really good story, set in land we walked through
