A funny, poignant and utterly compelling debut from Sunday Times bestselling author Sarah Winman.
Young Elly's world is shaped by those who inhabit it: her loving but maddeningly distractible parents; a best friend who smells of chips and knows exotic words like 'slag'; an ageing fop who tapdances his way into her home, a Shirley Bassey impersonator who trails close behind; lastly, of course, a rabbit called God. In a childhood peppered with moments both ordinary and extraordinary, Elly's one constant is her brother Joe.
Twenty years on, Elly and Joe are fully grown and as close as they ever were. Until, that is, one bright morning and a single, earth-shattering event that threatens to destroy their bond for ever.
Spanning four decades and moving between suburban Essex, the wild coast of Cornwall and the streets of New York, this is a story about childhood, eccentricity, the darker side of love and sex, the pull and power of family ties, loss and life. More than anything, it's a story about love in all its forms.
'Thronging with incident and wonder.'
The Guardian
'Beautifully true ... superb.'
The Times
'A freshly rendered tale of growing up and living in the world by a late-starting author with a bright future.'
Kirkus Reviews
'Beguiling ... You can't get the voice out of your head.'
