An aunty sacks a nephew. First he wants revenge, and then he wants
to be an angel. A strange close-knit family starts to fall apart
along with its business while a pregnant auditor is uncovering the
dirt. The dark and surreal novel from this Booker Prize winning
Australian author does for middle-Australia what director David
Lynch has done for middle-America. His writing is brilliant,
depicting the atmosphere of a room with just the casual but
evocative description of its smell. (Kirkus UK)
The day that Benny Catchprice was fired from the spare parts
department of Catchprice Motors by his aunt Cathy was also the day
that the Tax Inspector, Maria Takis, arrived to begin her
long-overdue audit of the family business. But this is no ordinary
investigation. Maria is eight months' pregnant, Granny Catchprice
is at war with her offspring, and Benny, her grandson, wants to
become an angel...
