'One of the funniest novels you'll read this year' Guardian THE
BOOK THAT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT DOWN For Alice and Hanna, saint
and sinner, growing up is a trial. There is their mother, who takes
a divide-and-conquer approach to child-rearing, and their father,
who takes an absent one. There is also their older brother Michael,
whose disapproval is a force to be reckoned with. There is the
catastrophe that is never spoken of, but which has shaped
everything . . . As adults, Alice and Hanna must deal with
disappointments in work and in love as well as increasingly
complicated family tensions, and lives that look dismayingly
dissimilar to what they'd intended. They must look for a way to
repair their own fractured relationship, and they must finally
choose their own approach to their dominant mother: submit or burn
the house down. And they must decide at last whether life is really
anything more than (as Hanna would have it) a tragedy with a few
hilarious moments. From the author of the Waterstones Book of the
Month Our Fathers comes a compelling domestic comedy about complex
family dynamics, mental health and the intricacies of sibling
relationships. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING 5* 'I adored this book' 5*
'A brilliant novel about a dysfunctional family' 5* 'This book blew
me away' 5* 'Loved, loved, loved this! Laugh-out-loud funny and
beautifully poignant' 5* 'The best book i've read this year'
