Opis

The life and times of Hazel and her brother Andrew, who are born into an extraordinary family of modern-day eccentrics. It is through Hazel's observant but detached eyes that we watch the family's goings-on, her unflinching vision informed by the precocious perception that however bad things may be they are only likely to get worse.
