Joanna Trollope is the author of Mum & Dad, an entertaining novel about a family where the parents are not always right. At present, Mum and Dad are living in Spain on a farm where they grow grapes and make wine. Dad has a stroke. The three children, all adults and with children of their own, come to Spain to help out. Dad isn't adjusting to the repercussions of having a stroke. The one that upsets him the most is the inability to drive. Which one of the 3 children will inherit the farm? Will it be the eldest (anxious) son whose wife doesn't get along with his Mom? The middle daughter who is a successful solicitor in London and whose 3 daughters have issues? Or will it be the youngest son with his wife and darling baby girl? I found this book to be fascinating. I am grateful not to be a part of this family.
