An often hilarious, surprisingly moving portrait of a long-married couple, seen through the eyes of their wickedly observant daughter-for fans ofand A Man Called Oveand andand The Royal Tenenbaums.Miranda's parents live in a dilapidated house in rural France that they share with two llamas, eight ducks, five chickens, two cats, and a freezer full of food dating back to 1983.Miranda's father is a retired professor of philosophy who never loses an argument. Miranda's mother likes to bring conversation back to “the War, although she was born after it ended. Married for fifty years, they are uncommonly set in their ways. Miranda plays the role of translator when she visits, communicating the desires or complaints of one parent to the other and then venting her frustration to her sister and her daughter. At the end of a visit, she reports “the usual desire to kill. This wry, propulsive story about a singularly eccentric family and the sibling rivalry, generational divides, and long-buried secrets that shape them, is a glorious debut novel from a seasoned playwright with immense empathy and a flair for dialogue.
