Things come full circle in A Desirable Residence by Madeleine Wickham. A family of three purchases a tutorial college and moves into the flat above it, hoping to sell their house -- What ends up happening is the married woman falls in love with the real estate agent, has an affair and falls deeply in love with the idea of having money and no worries that he does. However, the real estate agent is married as well. Their lives end up entertwining and coming to a climax in the end.
Meanwhile, the real estate agent had a temporary fix for them until the house sold, renting it out to a PR person from the firm. Ginny and her actor boyfriend Piers have drama of their own.
There is no shortage of drama and more drama in this book. It didn't have my attention for many pages but when it was climaxing and coming to a head, it made for a very interesting read. Beautiful ending!!!! I truly enjoyed it!
