Funny, wise and full of the richness and sadness of family life - The Times
By the acclaimed author of The Wife - as hilarious and uncomfortable as the eponymous position, a sharp, funny, unexpected and compellingly readable novel about the effects of the sexual revolution (and a Joy of Sex type book) on one family.
