'The Awkward Age' is about the new family; about starting over, about the attempt to build something beautiful amid the mess and complexity of what came before.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Segal, Francesca, 1980-<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>London : Vintage, 2018.<br />370 pages ; 20 cm<br /><br />Aylesbury Library - (Buckinghamshire libraries) - Adult fiction: paperback - Available - 95100000181788<br />Aylesbury Library - (Buckinghamshire libraries) - Adult fiction: paperback - Available - 95100000181965<br />Gerrards Cross Community Library - (Buckinghamshire libraries) - Adult fiction: paperback - Available - 067417468<br /> https://buckinghamshire.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=4332843&CF=BIB If you could change the past, would you? 30 years ago, something terrible happened to Luna's mother.
