A young married couple and their eight year-old son begin two idyllic weeks at a beach house in Cornwall. But the cottage and the stretch of sand before it seem somehow familiar and memories of a summer long ago begin to surface. Seeking some distance from the married man with whom he's having an affair, he invites his aging mother and father to share his holiday, knowing the sun and sea will be a welcome change for. Will Pagett receives an unexpected gift on his fortieth birthday, two weeks at a perfect beach house in Cornwall. Seamlessly alternating between the present day and a summer thirty years past, its twin stories unfold at a cottage along the eastern coast of England. Beautifully written and deeply compassionate, Rough Music is a novel of one family at two defining points in time.
