In The Fold By Rachel Cusk,  Faber, £7.99

You can see why this novel would be popular with book clubs. Rachel Cusk has that ability to hit the spot with the smallest detail.

It's no surprise that among those to pay her compliments is Ingo author Helen Dunmore, who also features in this month's book club.

Family tensions are at the heart of the plot. An 18-year-old man is enchanted when he's introduced to a family's carefree lifestyle at their remote country home.

It makes such an impression that when he marries he wants to re-create what he found so compelling about that way of life.

But after the arrival of the couple's first child it all starts to go wrong.
