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
