About this listen

From the author of the Waterstones Book of the Month Our Fathers comes a compelling domestic comedy about complex family dynamics, mental health and the intricacies of sibling relationships.

For Alice and Hanna, saint and sinner, growing up is a trial. There is their mother, who takes a divide-and-conquer approach to child-rearing, and their father, who takes an absent one. There is their older brother, Michael, whose disapproval is a force to be reckoned with. There is the catastrophe that is never spoken of but has shaped everything.

As adults, Alice and Hanna must deal with disappointments in work and in love, as well as increasingly complicated family tensions and lives that look dismayingly dissimilar to what they'd intended. They must look for a way to repair their own fractured relationship and they must finally choose their own approach to their dominant mother: submit or burn the house down. And they must decide at last whether life is really anything more than (as Hanna would have it) a tragedy with a few hilarious moments.

Family relationship from different perspectives

I like very much this book. This is a story about very common family issues viewed from different perspectives of each person. Besides that, knowing their background history, childhood and previous relationships, helps you to understand some of their actions, even when you don't agree. Humans being humans...

Light read that was enjoyable

This was a pleasant read that kept me interested. Familiar themes, but characters could have done with a little more development.

Insightful and moving

I was surprised that I got so into this book, at first I thought I wouldn’t enjoy it but found I couldn’t stop listening. A moving and engaging story into mental health, family dynamics and finding our own self worth.
