Family is everything, even when it falls apart.
Discover the brand-new novel from the multi-million-copy bestselling author.
'It made me laugh, it made me cry and I couldn't put it down. If you are a fan of Maggie O'Farrell you must read this.' - Louise Minchin, TV presenter and author of Isolation Island
'Rachel Joyce is a masterful storyteller.' - Sarah Winman, author of Still Life
'The renowned artist - the emotionally starved children - what an inspired subject! Joyce writes with her trademark vitality and compassion and there is such colour here. So much at stake. I couldn't put it down.' - Esther Freud, author of Hideous Kinky and Mr Mac and Me
'Lyrical, shrewd and, ultimately, as indecently satisfying as a four course Italian lunch. My life is a little emptier now it's over.' - Patrick Gale, author of A Place Called Winter
'Sparkling and addictive ... Rachel Joyce is so incredibly good and wise on families and siblings. I couldn't love it more.' - Harriet Evans, author of The Garden of Lost and Found
'A triumph of insight and empathy!' - Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures
'Joyce is a fearless explorer of emotional landscape.' - Sunday Times
'If only there were more novelists like Rachel Joyce' - Telegraph
There is a heatwave across Europe.
Goose and his three sisters gather at the family's house by Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. Their father, a famous artist, has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting.
Although the siblings have always been close, as they search for answers over that summer, the things they learn - about themselves, their father and their new stepmother - will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father's legacy truly is.
Extraordinarily compelling, at heart this is a novel about sibling relationships and those hairline cracks that can appear within a family: what what happens when they splinter, and what it would take to mend them.

Under EU consumer law, you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your order, without giving a reason. To formally exercise this right, use the button below. This is a distinct function separate from our general returns process.
Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason.
