The Second Home is the story of a once close family torn apart by the actions of a self-serving, manipulative man. It is told in two main parts - the first when Ann, Poppy and Michael are teenagers; the second fifteen years later. The beginning of the story had me all in but my interest lagged in the middle when I just wanted to punch one of the characters. The ending was satisfying if predictable.
