To Nicole and Jamie Maguire, their parents seem the ideal couple - a suburban double act, happily married for more than thirty years. So when Linda and Gerry announce during a Mother's Day lunch that they have decided to separate, the siblings find themselves unexpectedly forced to confront their own expectations and desires.Hard-working - and hard-drinking - Nicole pursues the ex she unceremoniously dumped six years ago, while Jamie, her people-pleasing younger brother, fears he is sleepwalking into a marriage he is not sure he wants. And as the siblings grapple with thirty-something London life, their parents struggle to conceal a secret that could fracture the family forever.Spanning a year, the novel follows each member of the Maguire family as long-simmering conflicts threaten to boil over. An unsentimental exploration of love and disillusionment, At the Table is about what it means to grow up - both as an individual, and as a family.
