A hilarious drama about family secrets, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty. ‘[A] gripping family tale… Stovell is a thoughtful, wise and witty writer’ Daily Mail
‘Funny, compelling and so on point about family dynamics’ The Sun
'We read this brilliant book in one sitting’ Bella
Minnie and Bert are over the moon to have their three grown-up children home for the first time in a decade. But having Lizzie, Jess, Owen and the grandchildren under one roof isn’t without its dramas.
Lizzie is off the alcohol (although emergency gin doesn’t count), Jess is juggling a toddler and a newborn, but it’s Owen who has the power to throw a grenade into everything.
It all stems from an incident that happened years ago. And it involves Nora Skelly – a name you don't mention in front of Minnie.
With Nora also back in town, the past is about to come crashing into the present. And what better time to revisit old secrets and resentments than around the family dinner table?

Nutid: Julen närmar sig och jultokiga mamma, mormor och farmor Minnie är överlycklig över att få hem sina tre äldsta barn. Sonen Owen bor i Australien och han har inte varit hemma sedan en uppslitande händelse när han var i 20-årsåldern. Dåtid: Familjen tog moderlösa Norah Skelly under sina vingar. Vad de inte räknat med var att hon skulle förändra hela deras familjedynamik och när det värsta händer finns ingen där som stöd.Det här är en mycket läsvärd roman om en familj som sönderfaller, men som blir hel. Uppläsaren Emily Pennant-Rea är en fröjd att lyssna på då hon läser tydligt och lagom känslosamt - och inte försöker härma röster, annat än australiensiskt uttal (vilket inte går jättebra). @bibbloagneta
