Book Description
KEY POINTS: * A novel of parental despair, for anyone who's ever had children (or for that matter, been a child). * Reissued to coincide with the publication of Europa, which will be a Booker entry. * 'A one-sitting book that reverberates in the mind long after the final page' - Daily Mail. * 'Far funnier than any plot summary could hope to suggest, Goodness negotiates the highwire between tragedy and farce with unerring dexterity' - Independent on Sunday.
