Sinossi
Leonard e Rosemary Cannon convocano la loro prole di mezza età, insieme a partner e figli, nella casa di famiglia nelle Welsh Marches per le vacanze di Natale. Mentre la famiglia riunita si sistema per il suo primo Natale insieme da alcuni anni, i fratelli adulti - Rodney, Jonny e Gwen - sono sorpresi quando vengono invitati a mettere adesivi sui mobili e sugli oggetti che desiderano ereditare dai genitori. Disputed Land è narrato dal nipote tredicenne di Leonard e Rosemary, Theo, che osserva come da questi innocenti inizi si aprano vecchie crepe nelle relazioni di coloro che lo circondano. Ripensando a questa riunione di Natale dalla sua stessa mezza età - un narratore allo stesso tempo nostalgico e ingenuo - Theo Cannon ricorda la sua imperiosa nonna Rosemary, lo zio maschio alfa Jonny, gli abominevoli cugini gemelli Xan e Baz; ricorda il suo amore per il nonno Leonard e i sentimenti nascenti per la cugina Holly. E si pone la domanda: se una singola famiglia non riesce a risolvere il problema di ciò che lascia in eredità alle generazioni future, quali possibilità ha un'intera società di lasciare il mondo intatto.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The breathtaking new novel from Tim Pears, author of LandedLeonard and Rosemary Cannon summon their middle-aged offspring, along with partners and children, to the family home in the Welsh Marches for the Christmas holiday. As the gathered family settle in to their first Christmas together for some years, the grown siblings - Rodney, Jonny and Gwen - are surprised when they are invited to each put stickers on the furniture and items they wish to inherit from their parents.Disputed Land is narrated by Leonard and Rosemary's thirteen-year-old grandson, Theo, who observes how from these innocent beginnings age-old fissures open up in the relationships of those around him. Looking back at this Christmas gathering from his own middle-age - a narrator at once nostalgic and naive - Theo Cannon remembers his imperious grandmother Rosemary, alpha-male uncle Jonny, abominable twin cousins Xan and Baz; he recalls his love for his grandfather Leonard and the burgeoning feelings for his cousin Holly. And he asks himself the question: if a single family cannot solve the problem of what it bequeaths to future generations, then what chance does a whole society have of leaving the world intact?
