LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN´S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2020 THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ´A literary love child of Jonathan Franzen and Anne Tyler ... outstanding and highly enjoyable´ Observer ´As good as Jonathan Franzen´s The Corrections or Jennifer Egan´s A Visit from the Goon Squad; it is almost impossible to believe that it is a debut. The Most Fun We Ever Had is as good as books come´ Telegraph ´I loved this book´ Bryony Gordon ´The perfect, engrossing holiday read´ RED MEET THE SORENSON FAMILY MARILYN has somehow fallen into motherhood and spent four decades married to DAVID, who´s pretty certain he loves her more than anyone has ever loved another person. WENDY, their eldest, a cause for concern, soothes herself with drink after being widowed young, while VIOLET, lawyer-turned-stay-at-home-mother, is disturbed by the reappearance of a son placed for adoption fifteen years earlier. LIZA, a professor, is pregnant with a baby she´s not sure she wants by a man she´s not sure she loves and GRACE, their dawdling youngest daughter, lives a lie that no one in her family suspects. ´A gripping and poignant ode to a messy, loving family in all its glory´ Madeline Miller ´A moving, immersive, often very funny study of family and sisterhood´ Sunday Times ´Like Meg Wolitzer. A forensic dissection of family past and present, I loved it. If you like reading about relationships, this one is for you.´ Pandora Sykes
