A Family Matter is the Nero Book Awards Gold Prize-winning debut novel by Claire Lynch. It is a powerful, dual-timeline story exploring family secrets, societal prejudice, and the long-lasting repercussions of homophobia in 1980s Britain. The narrative shifts back and forth between two eras, gradually unravelling the central tragedy of a family torn apart by the legal system.
A heartbreaking and unforgettable story of family secrets that everyone is talking about this summer.
A mother following her heart. A father with the law on his side. A child caught in the middle.
1982 Dawn is a young wife and mother hemmed in by village life. Then Hazel appears like a torch in the dark. Their attraction is instant and suddenly Dawn’s world is more joyful, and more complicated, than she ever expected.
2022 Maggie has always lived with an absence where her mother should be. Her father never speaks of her and it feels impossible to ask. Then an official letter arrives with news from the past, and Maggie must face a truth far bigger than just her family’s secret.
