Helpful Score: 1

Haddon has great fun with the Hall family. George is retired, depressed and convinced that his eczema is cancer. Poor George suffers a breakdown, but who in the family can support him and help him through it? Wife Jean is having an affair, daughter Katie is waffling about getting married for the 2nd time and son Jamie needs to rethink his relationship with boyfriend Tony. We get perspectives from each flawed character as the book careens towards Katie's on-again off-again wedding.

A book about love and life with hilariously believable characters. Write more books for adults, Mark! We love 'em!
