About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the highly-acclaimed author of Small Pleasures - longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2021.

Without even noticing, Esther Fairchild has become locked into routine.

Living with her adored brother, Christian, she divides her time between illustrating children's books, nightly shifts as a waitress, weekly visits to her father and fortnightly meetings with her married lover.

Then one day she encounters a face in the crowd which jolts her out of her mundane existence and makes her question both her life and the past that has helped to shape it. Memories she had long chosen to forget begin to resurface. Memories of an eccentric childhood in a large and shabby house, where the children were left to fend for themselves within the loose boundaries of their parents' unorthodox values. A chaotic existence peopled by a rich collection of feckless 'guests'.

And into this shambolic world came Donovan - regularly deposited by his unreliable mother - and Penny, Christian's girlfriend and Esther's idol. Until tragedy struck and shattered their joint existence. But now, it seems, their lives are about to become intertwined once more....

Warm, witty and emotional!

It was a very simple and lovely story…Any other mediocre author would have made it downright boring. But execution of this story was marvelous. It has got a heart and it is full of wit and humor.
First two chapters were little bit slow. But as the story turned to the childhood it just got me hooked.
I fell in love with the Fairchilds. Imogene Church has narrated the Audible audiobook with her immense talent. I enjoyed this book to fullest. 5/5 from me.
