What happens when the Bank of Mum and Dad goes bust?A brilliant novel of families and relationships and learning who you really are. From the bestselling author of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BIRDY TROY?

Gus and Joan worked hard to give their children everything - a comfortable home in a leafy Dublin neighbourhood, gap years that never seem to end and an open chequebook for life's little emergencies. Unfortunately, although the children have grown up, they are a little too comfortable with the well-feathered nest: now it's time to learn a few home truths. When a twist of fate means the bank of Mum and Dad can no longer bail them out, suddenly the whole family must find out who they really are. Uncovering the secrets they all hide shows them a different side to the city they call home as they find allies in the most unlikely places.

Rachael English is a perceptive writer with a great eye for the details of family life. Great story, well imagined and well written.
