Adverse Possession

It's 1966 and Peggy Tanner loves her life as wife and mother to her three boys. She takes her role very seriously but while holidaying with the Hannecker family on Mersea Island in Essex she finds herself faced with a new modern woman who forces her to question her role in the family. George Hannecker has recently remarried after the death of his first wife and his new wife Sandra, who is twenty-two years younger than him, is ambitious, aggressive and a reluctant step-mother to his teenage twins. Peggy finds Sandra impossible to get along with and resents her presence as the woman replacing her best friend. However her irritation pales into insignificance when she discovers George's invitation to join them on holiday has been motivated by more than just a desire for company. As the holiday progresses Peggy discovers a connection between the Tanners and the Hanneckers that both families would rather remained in the past
