review 1: One of my favorite authors, McInerney does it again, but with more depth and emotion. The author's grasp of family issues, including sibling rivalry, joys, tragedies,etc., enhances the novel. Ella is a complex character, as she leaves her husband and family to run from a tragedy. Lucas, her uncle and confidante, is a quirky, lovable character. The setting first in Australia, then London, contributes to the appeal. A must read.
review 2: Having been through the despair of losing a child myself, I really felt the emotions of this book myself.The selfish and often irrational tide of grief that can (and does) overwhelm one is dealt sensitively and with great charm... And it is hoped that we all have those quirky relatives that will do everything in their power
... more to help you through it and restore the calm and patiently wait for the tide to inevitably turn once more. Thank you Monica McInerney. less

Touching "dramedy" about Ella and her family recovering from the tragic loss of her 2 year old son.

If I had really known what this was about I might have skipped it due to sad subject matter.
