About
Everyone hates the perfect family. So you'll love the Battles. Meet Mo Battle, about to turn 50 and mum to two hormonal teenagers. There's 17-year-old daughter Dora who blames Mo for, like, EVERYTHING and Peter who believes he's quite simply as marvellous as his hero Oscar Wilde. Somewhere, keeping quiet, is Dad, who's just, well . . . Dad. However, Mo is having a crisis. She's about to do something unusually wild and selfish, which will leave the entire family teetering on the edge of a precipice. Will the family fall? Or will they, when it really matters, be there for each other? 'Funny, really enjoyable, highly recommended. A wonderful writer - witty, wise, poignant.' Wendy Holden 'A fantastic slam-dunk page-turner. Funny, enriching . . . page after page I laughed out loud.' Mail on Sunday 'Beautifully observed. Makes you laugh on every page.' The Times 'A brilliantly observed, very funny novel of family life.' Woman & Home
