Stealing Dad

Beschreibung

'Funny, sad and beautifully written' Telegraph 'I was completely absorbed from the beginning' Mary Portas 'A brilliant depiction of a complex sprawling family with a charismatic lovable rogue at its centre. It is both tragic and funny, but ultimately heartwarming' Lily Dunn What do you do when you're not allowed to attend your father's funeral? This is the question facing Alekos's far-flung children from many marriages when the successful, if controversial, Greek sculptor dies in London. His last wife and now widow is determined that they stay away, but for the first time, all the sisters and brothers meet up and plan to take matters into their own hands. Wonderfully written and sharply funny, Stealing Dad tells the unlikely story of a dysfunctional family coming together in tragic yet hilarious ways, from acclaimed author of Putney, Sofka Zinovieff.
