The Holiday: NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX DRAMA

Product Information

I also thought the way he describes the children was very well done. Some very likeable, some not! He captures the teenagers particularly well, including the role their mobile phones play in their everyday life. In fact the mobile phone features in nearly every one of the character be it for work or personal reasons and its use is considered quite deeply within the novel. The impact it has on conversation, the distance it can put between parent and child and even it's use within modern day parenting. It also adds to the tension in Kate's idea of her cheating husbands and I enjoyed the moments where she steals a look at it at every available opportunity. This was quite an interesting question; Sean was relatively normal and I couldn’t really see him wanting to get it on with any of the other women. T.M. Logan’s chilling solution to The Holiday’s mystery revealed that Lucy had been cruelly humiliated by a boy at her school, Alex Bayley, who’d taken a video of her without her consent. Distraught, she’d told Jake about this and unintentionally inspired him to murder the boy when she said, “I wish he’d just f****** die!” On arriving at the villa, Kate finds some messages on her husbands phone cementing her idea that he is having an affair but to make the discovery even more heartbreaking the messages read as if from another member of the holiday group. One of her old friends. She is devastated. Which one of them could do this to her? He has a choice of Rowan, with her brattish five year old in tow, and her vapid parenting tactics (“please sit down, darling”, while the said five year old runs amok in a restaurant).

Four women, who have been friends since their university days, book a relaxing holiday in a luxurious villa in the countryside of south France, together with their husbands and children. Kate is the main character and the majority of the book is written from her point of view. The book begins in Kate and her husband Sean's rental car as they're heading towards the villa to start the holiday with their two children.
