Rezensionen
'Hilarious and heartbreaking, packed with acute and painfully funny observations about relationships and family dynamics. Barnes's dialogue is pitch-perfect, and her characters dance off the page and straight into your heart. Mum and Dad are magnificent creations, eccentric and endearing, both instantly recognisable and utterly singular' Monica Ali, author of LOVE MARRIAGE and BRICK LANE
