'The other children varied their Mothering Sunday gifts, but not Margaret; daffodils it had always been, and daffodils it always would be . . .'
It's going to be a surprise. Seventy-year-old widow Anna Caldwell's grown-up children usually send her gifts, but this Mother's Day no flowers or chocolates will arrive by post. Instead, on Sunday her five offspring will turn up at her door - unannounced.
It's all eldest daughter Jane's idea. The others - doctor Margaret, MP Henry and the youngest, flighty Felicity - dare not argue. Though no one knows quite where black sheep of the family, Tony, has got to.
Yet Anna's suspicious children also have an ulterior motive. She's been acting oddly lately and this is the perfect excuse to check up on her.
Mothering Sunday is bound not to play out as anyone has planned. But will it prove to be a day to remember, or one they'll never be able to forget?
