This Is None of Our Business ebook

At Bracken House, other people's lives are never very far away - and the line between caring and interfering is rarely obvious. In Part Two, Judith is trying to learn that curiosity does not equal permission. Elliot wants room to make his own decisions. Miles and Joanna are discovering that kindness after separation does not automatically mean reconciliation. Tamsin is offered more responsibility at work, but wants the terms to be hers. Naveed and Farah are finding a better way to co-parent without turning cooperation into ownership. Around them, families, colleagues and neighbours keep passing along news, offering help, making introductions and drawing conclusions before the person at the centre has had time to speak. This Is None of Our Business follows ten connected chapters about privacy, boundaries, choice, work, family and the difficult question of what people actually owe one another. Warm, sharp and character-driven, it is an ensemble comedy about people who care deeply, mean well, and are slowly discovering that being involved in someone's life is not the same as being entitled to decide it.
