Yet another irrestible new novel from one of the UK's bestselling authors. Meet the Boyd family and the empty nest, twenty-first-century style. The youngest of the family is, at last, leaving home. Needless to say family life is never straight forward and the twists and turns make for a truly compelling read.
Ben is, at last, leaving home. At twenty-two, he’s the youngest of the family. His mother Edie, an actress, is distraught. His father Russell, a theatrical agent, is rather hoping to get his wife back, after decades of family life. His brother, Matthew, is wrestling with a relationship in which he achieves and earns less than his girlfriend. His sister Rosa is wrestling with debt, and the end of a turbulent love affair.
Reviews
'As subtle as Austen, as sharp as Bronte. Trollope's brilliant!' Fay Weldon, MAIL ON SUNDAY
'She writes so beautifully
in a style so graceful and judicious that you would call it restful if it were not also palpably intelligent' EVENING STANDARD
