Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The Barnes family is in trouble. Dickie's once-lucrative car business is going under - but rather than face the music, he's spending his days in the woods, building an apocalypse-proof bunker with a renegade handyman. His wife Imelda is selling off her jewellery on eBay while their teenage daughter Cass, formerly top of her class, seems determined to binge-drink her way to her final exams. And twelve-year-old PJ is putting the final touches to his grand plan to run away from home. Where did it all go wrong? A patch of ice on the tarmac, a casual favour to a charming stranger, a bee caught beneath a bridal veil? Can a single moment of bad luck change the direction of a life? And if the story has already been written - is there still time to find a happy ending? 'The finest novel that Murray has yet written . . . will surely be one of the books of 2023' Sunday Independent 'Murray is a natural storyteller . . . Ambitious, expansive, hugely entertaining tragicomic fiction' Irish Times 'It's a thing of beauty, a novel that will fill your heart' Observer 'Generous, immersive, sharp-witted and devastating . . . a triumph' Financial Times 'It's been compared to Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections; I'd argue it's better' Daily Mail
