Darkly comic fiction from the bestselling author of Reasons to Stay Alive, The Humans and How to Stop Time

FAMILIES. SOMETIMES THEY´RE A BLOODY NIGHTMARE . . .

Life with the Radleys: Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours and self-denial. Loads of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose. When teenage daughter Clara gets attacked on the way home from a party, she and her brother Rowan finally discover why they can´t sleep, can´t eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation and can´t go outside unless they´re smothered in Factor 50.

With a visit from their lethally louche Uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.
