A Sunday Times top 100 novel of the twenty-first century arlington Park is an ordinary English suburb. Over the course of a single day, the novel moves from one household to another, revealing its characters: Juliet, enraged at the victory of men over women in family life; Amanda, wizarding off thoughts of death with obsessive housework; solly, about to give birth to her fourth child; Maisie, struggling to accept provincial life; and Christine, the optimistic and host of a dinner part where the neighbours come together.
