PAPERBACK. B FORMAT. TPS: 198x127mm
As a summer heatwave blazes across Europe, the siblings find themselves in a waiting game, trapped under the same roof as their young stepmother, unpicking the mystery of their father’s death as longsimmering resentments threaten to come to light. With wit, insight and compassion, Rachel Joyce explores memory, identity and sibling bonds – the hairline fractures that can appear, what happens when they splinter, and what it might take to bring a family back together.

THE HOMEMADE GOD
When world-famous artist Vic Kemp summons his four adult children to lunch with the promise of big news, Goose and his sisters drop everything, expecting he has finished the masterpiece that will be the capstone to his career. Instead, he reveals he has forsworn his playboy ways and is engaged to a woman decades his junior they have never met. After rushing to marry the enigmatic Bella-Mae at his Italian villa, he is found dead weeks later in a lake he knew like the back of his hand.
