"Brilliant...[Dean's] insights are dazzling... and the prose leaps with a fervor for the present moment" - Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Dean's dialect will keep you entertained as these ... characters, like ensemble actors, explore the light and dark sides of relationships, memory, death, and the deep pull of family love." - People Magazine "Dean's razor-sharp observations, coupled with her very real affection for her characters, make the pages fly." - Entertainment Weekly "A highly entertaining vivid evocation of love and marriage in various forms...Dean's characters have the rough edges and surprising grace of real people, and her fierce humanism animates every page." - The New York Times Book Review "Remarkably astute... Dean has perfect pitch [and] she sneaks in just enough grace to give her characters a chance to prove Thomas Wolfe wrong: As long as you don't expect anyone to get out the good china, you can go home again." - The Washington Post "Vividly imagined and surprisingly funny...Call it sentimental if you like, but it's also sweet and genuine and universally true." - The Associated Press "Glorious hell breaks loose in the devilish, dauntingly talented hands of this award-winning writer" - Elle "Brit lit star Dean lives up to the hype with this sardonic yet sweet tale of an estranged family trying to heal old wounds" - The Ladies Home Journal "Tartly sweet ...Dean's acerbic affection for her characters and her social commentary are both spot-on and surprisingly poignant." - Kirkus Reviews, "A highly entertaining vivid evocation of love and marriage in various forms...Dean's characters have the rough edges and surprising grace of real people, and her fierce humanism animates every page." - The New York Times Book Review "Remarkably astute...

Synopsis
A long-estranged family discovers that blood is thicker than water in this hilarious and moving domestic comedy. It's been a couple of decades since Nick cast off his impossible, contentious, embarrassingly working-class parents: gruff, stingy, explosive Ken and June, who seemed to revert to a primal state of nature after a divorce that both of them managed to blame on Nick. Enjoying the life of the country gentleman that he's made for himself with impeccably turned-out Astrid and her teenage daughter, Laura, Nick has kept only the slenderest family connection to his brother, Dave, who's stuck with the role of ambassador in a family that's long settled into cold war. But then Ken decides that the year of his death has arrived, and thus kicks off an ill-conceived quest to reunite his family before he meets his fate. Bringing to this tinderbox just the spark it needs, Louise Dean sends up the whole clan, each of them fatally flawed yet saved by hidden grace, and illuminates with her incomparable acuity their clashes of generation, gender, class, and temperament, in a riotous and compassionate conflagration.
