Beautifully observed portrait of dysfunctional family life.Hannah Beckerman, Guardian
An astonishingly accomplished debut - the Brennans leap fully formed onto the page in this brilliantly judged novel of the intricacies of family life where the past can shadow the future until someone breaks free.
