'A remarkably lucid and authoritative novelist' John Irving AS
RECOMMENDED BY ELLA WOODWARD 'Accomplished, assured . . . A richly
rewarding read' The Sunday Times 'A first-rate storyteller, funny
and compassionate' Woman & Home ****** Murray Blair had some
serious matters to discuss this weekend, and he wanted things to
run smoothly. But harmony, that Artful Dodger in so many families,
had its way of eluding his family as well. . . Though the adult
Blair siblings have agreed to keep things calm and amiable on a
trip to stay with their elderly father, each arrives, in true Blair
style, with a secret agenda. But plans are derailed when Lizzie,
the youngest, turns up late with a burnt hand, impending criminal
charges, and a damp family cookbook: Fannie Farmer's Boston Cooking
School. The now ruined cookbook is the last vestige of a more
idyllic time, when there were four siblings, not three, a public
family reputation to uphold, and a mother whose handwritten notes
in the margins of the recipes are their last link to her after the
accident years ago. But secrets will always out, especially amongst
family: and this weekend, the Blair siblings will learn that there
is more to their mother's story than they could have anticipated...
Told in three parts, roving between then and now, Go Ask Fannie
Farmer tells of the life and death of Lillian Blair, the
over-bearing, bickering, but loving children who look for ways to
connect with one another in her absence, and the inner lives we
hide from our families. 'Irresistible' Prima 'Hyde's latest novel
will delight readers' Booklist 'Hyde creates a family we can all
relate to . . . and does so with great humour' Woman
