Paul and Elaine have two boys and a beautiful home, yet they find
themselves thoroughly, inexplicably stuck. Obsessed with 'making
things good again', they spin the quiet terrors of family life into
a fantastical frenzy that careers well and truly out of control. As
A.M. Homes's incendiary novel unfolds, the technicolour hues of the
American good life become nearly hallucinogenic: from a strange and
hilarious encounter on the floor of the pantry with a Stepford Wife
neighbour, to a house-cleaning team in space suits, to a hostage
situation at the school. Homes lays bare the foundations of
marriage and family life and creates characters outrageously
flawed, deeply human and entirely believable.
