When 51-year-old fraternal twins Jeanie and Julius wake one cold morning to find their mother, Dot, has died, they're unsure what to do. They've lived their whole life in their tiny cottage in the English countryside, with few modern conveniences and even less money, taking care of their mother and each other. But with Dot's death, the twins find themselves unmoored and uncertain about their future… and when things start to fall apart around them, they begin to realize how little they really know about the world—and themselves. Rich with details and a vivid sense of place, Unsettled Ground is a moving story of family, sacrifice, and survival.
