«Familienalbum» is Penelope Lively's family novel, published by btb Verlag in paperback (286 pages, in German).
A woman who wanted a grand house, a wealthy husband and many children seems to have her wish fulfilled; behind the facade, the Harper family lives amid small cruelties and a guarded secret. The narrative jumps in time and alternates voices, with the house Allersmead as witness to their dreams, defeats and scars.
