What is Accidents in the Home about?

256 pages ; 20 cm, An improbable coincidence brings Clare back into contact with someone she once had sex with at a teenage party; complicatedly, he is now going out with her best friend, Helly. The encounter needn't have meant anything - it could just have been funny, or embarrassing - but it seems to have the power to shake up everything in Clare's life. Clare is married with three small children, she bakes her own bread and buys her clothes from the charity shop. Helly is an actress and has her golden curves pasted up on billboards ten foot high. And each of them seems to want what the other has. Clare's story is intertwined with other stories of her extended family. Her father has been married three times and left a trail of children. 'Accidents in the Home' dips in and out of the lives of this complicated, close, fraught family, reaching out into the past for explanation and illumination as well as across the present, Originally published: London: Jonathan Cape, 2002
