In seaside Sorrento, it was the ideal family home.
Then the family returned home to it.

Hilary lives in seaside Sorrento with her father and sixteen year old son; Pippa is visiting from New York and Meg returns from England with her English husband. Three sisters, reunited after ten years in different worlds, again feel the constraints of family life. It is Meg's semi-autobiographical novel, recently short-listed for the Booker prize, which overshadows their homecoming. It is about expatriatism, our perception of home and the tensions that exist between those who've left and those who've stayed behind. It is about the responsibilities of family obligations and national ties, the rights to individuality within a clan and a country.

Starring: John Flaus, Beverly Dunn, Jane Nolan and Kevin Harrington
