"Ordinary People" is about two married couples living in London: Michael and Melissa, Damien and Stephanie. Both couples are experiencing a turning point: either their family life will find a second wind, or it will collapse. After the birth of her second child, Melissa fears that her journalism career will end and she will turn into a stay-at-home mother. Michael lacks the former passion in their relationship and begins to cheat on Melissa.
Stephanie is happy in her role as a wife, mother of three children, and hostess of a cozy home, but she is worried about her husband's psychological state - Damien is struggling to cope with his father's death and considers his life a failure.
The new book by the rising star of British literature, Diana Evans, is a deep and subtle exploration of the evolution of family relationships: how the birth of children, professional life, changes in the intimate sphere, personal losses, and age affect them.
