Summary

What happens when some blended-family ties grow strong and others don't grow at all?

The Sound of It Summary

The Sound of It by Alison Jean Lester

When Su, a divorced mother of one daughter, falls in love with Jeremy, a widowed father of two sons, they want to build a life together, but neither of their houses in Worcester is big enough for a family of five. They decide to build a dream house in farmland outside the city, in which to live happily ever after. For sound designer Su, it's an opportunity to create an embracing home and heal past wounds, while Jeremy sees a chance to impress his overbearing father. The Sound of It looks at parenting and at step-parenting, when expectations are high, dreams are big, and the Internet is very dangerous.

The Sound of It Reviews

An honest and gripping look at parenting, step-parenting and later-in-life love. - Adele Parks, #1 bestselling author; An absorbing and powerful novel about blended families, love and betrayal. - Louisa Treger, author of Madwoman; I've never read anything quite like it. Hilarious, desperately sad, and utterly compelling. An extraordinary and extremely readable novel. - Fiona Mitchell, author of The Swap and The Maid's Room; Lester paints a fascinating picture of the trajectory of a modern relationship in this mesmerising novel. This sensitive, clever and, above all, believable portrayal will have you gripped from start to finish. Highly recommended. - Kerry Hadley-Pryce, author of The Black Country
