AT HOME WITH THE TEMPLETONS
Book ID/图书代码： 03540010B40882
English Summary/英文概要： When the Templeton family from England takes up residence in a stately home in country Australia, they set the locals talking – and with good reason. From the outside, the seven Templetons seem so unusual . . . peculiar even. No one is more intrigued by the family than their neighbours, single mother Nina Donovan and her young son Tom. Before long, the two families’ lives become entwined in unexpected ways, to the delight of Gracie, the youngest of the Templeton daughters.
In the years that follow, the relationships between the Templetons and the two Donovans twist and turn in unpredictable and life-changing directions, until a tragedy tears them all apart. What will it take to bring them together again?
From Australia’s top-selling female novelist comes her best book yet – a wonderfully entertaining and touching story about the perils and pleasures of love, friendship and family.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 別人的家庭其實沒有那麼完美。
鄧普頓一家從英國搬到澳大利亞後，住在一棟莊嚴的大屋子裡，這一家子不一會兒就成為人們茶餘飯後的話題，從旁人看來，這家人很不平常，甚至奇怪。
鄧普頓的鄰居也非常奇怪，那是一個單身母親Nina Donovan和兒子Tom組成的家庭。不久，這兩家人的關係就以不同尋常的方式糾纏到一起，但鄧普頓家最小的女兒Gracie非常開心。
接下來一年中，這兩家人的關係以意想不到的方式改變，慢慢影響了兩家人家的命運，直到一場悲劇將他們的關係打碎，分崩離析。還設有什麼能將這兩家人家再次聯繫到一起？（Celia）
