Description

'A bold and remarkable novel...full of heart and compassion' Dinaw MengestuA bad-tempered grandfather, now living abroad, is back in Stockholm to see his adult children.

The son is a failure, the daughter is having a baby with the wrong man, and their mother is a heartless deserter.

Only he, the patriarch, is perfect - according to himself, at least.

Over ten intense days, the strained relationships of this chaotic but entirely normal family unfold, and painful memories begin to resurface.

Something has to give. But the son is duty-bound to his father by a murky, years-old agreement - can it be renegotiated, or will it bind everyone to the past for ever?'The dynamics of each relationship are superbly complex, and Khemiri's wry, comic touch gives a lightness to the inevitability as the children follow in their father's footsteps' Guardian'Excellent...the complex portrait of a family that is both identifiable and distinctive, normal and strange' TLS
