Cathy Rentzenbrink

Everyone Is Still Alive

It’s summer when Juliet moves into her late mother’s house on a south London street with husband Liam – a writer – and their young son Charlie. Getting to know the neighbouring families is the last thing on her mind as she juggles with grief, guilt, and the pressure of working motherhood. For Liam, the morning coffees and after school gatherings reveal the secret struggles, fears, and rivalries playing out behind closed doors…perfect material for his new novel! As Juliet tries to deal with her unease she leaves it to Liam to build these new relationships. But when the rupture of a marriage sends ripples through the group, painful home truths are brought to light. And then, a single moment at a party during a sun-drenched afternoon, changes everything.
