Michaelo O'Dell is hit by a car, and when he doesn't die, he is
surprised and pleased. But he can't seem to move, frozen in the
crash position. He can't concentrate, or control his anger and
grief, or work out what to do about much of anything. His
professional life begins to crumble, and although his wife Wendy is
heroically supportive, his teenage children only exacerbate his
post-accident angst. His daughter Rosie punches out a vindictive
schoolmate, plunging the family into a special parent-teacher hell.
Meanwhile, his son Declan is found with a stash of illicit drugs,
and a strange policeman starts harassing the family, causing
ordinary mishaps to take on a sinister desperation.
Equal parts hilarious and painful, this compelling novel delves
into the difficulties of family, love, and the precarious business
of being a man. Mark Lamprell's extraordinary debut examines the
terrible truth: sometimes you can't pull yourself together until
you've completely fallen apart.
