Set on the beautiful beaches of the Isle of Wight, The Garnett Girls asks whether children can ever be free of the mistakes their parents make.

Firstly this a great contemporary family saga set around an ancestral home with a cast of extended family characters and partners. Fast forward years later we see The girls all grown and but each of them are almost crippled by the many questions never answered with Margo remaining tight lipped is not helping any of them. Set mainly on the Isle of Wight, which I have a strong personal connection to, there was so much of this story to love. There are complex family relationships, not only between a mother and her daughters, but of that between siblings and also husbands and wives. Margo, the matriarch of the family, was in the main a forceful character, with her three daughters, Rachel, Imogen and Sasha all very different in temperament and circumstance. They all have different ambitions and desires and the story explores how the actions from their past have impacted on their lives. Margo to Sasha: "You don't need to pretend you're fine all the time. Not with your family. That's the point of family."

Controversial Little Britain sketch where David Walliams says Asian character 'smells of soy sauce' is 'racist and outdated', research says Rachel, her eldest daughter, and her husband Gabriel, now live in Sandycove, the Garnett family home on the Isle of Wight, while Margo lives in a cottage nearby referred to as The Other Place. Rachel misses the life and vibrancy of her work and life in London, and is not enjoying being at Sandycove with all the duties and responsibilities it brings. Gabriel, who gets on famously with Margo, and runs the house while she works, also seems to be drifting from Rachel, and seems more interested in his phone than talking to her. Sisters Rachel, Imogen and Sasha seem to have everything, but their father Richard’s abrupt departure, and the fallout of their parent’s marriage, has stunted their emotional growth.Robert De Niro loses his cool in court after being asked if he urinated while on the phone to his ex-assistant and called her a bi**h

Rachel and Imogen looked at each other sadly. Rachel spoke for them both. ‘Because – well…it sounds bad – but calling her Ma doesn’t feel right anymore. She isn’t being our mum. There have always been two Margos, one who is Ma, just ours, and the other who is Margo who belongs to everyone else or who is in her own world. She’s Margo now – she doesn’t think of us.’ Rachel felt suddenly angry just thinking it and guilty for saying it. Margo is the matriarch of the Garnett family. Confident, engaging, unapologetic in asking for what she wants – and usually getting it, she knows who she is and what she needs, and she also is embracing life and sex, while all the time overseeing her family and getting involved in their lives. Janette: I really enjoyed the theme of whether the daughters can escape the family secret which has cast a long shadow on them. My favourite character was Margo although she wasn't the most endearing you knew why she had to do what she did. A very good holiday read. Dreamy Imogen feels the pressure to marry her kind, considerate fiance, even when life is taking an unexpected turn.
