From the award-winning author of We Need to Talk About Kevin

'Enjoyably abrasive... a compelling read... sardonic and elegant' Evening Standard

'Scabrously funny... few authors can be as entertainingly problematic as Shriver' Guardian

Recenzje

'Enjoyably abrasive... a compelling read... sardonic and elegant' Evening Standard

'Scabrously funny... few authors can be as entertainingly problematic as Shriver' Guardian

'With laugh-out-loud and sad moments, it's a pinpoint-sharp novel' Woman and Home

'Darkly funny... Shriver is so good at making wry observations about human behaviour and this is particularly witty on the dynamics between couples who have been together a long time' Good Housekeeping

'Shriver is an exuberant novelist, fertile in ideas, robust in argument and disdainful of economy... She writes bold and fearless comedy and delights in slaughtering the sacred cows of the stupid times we live in. Few novelists now raise a laugh. Shriver does so time and again' Allan Massie, The Scotsman

'A satire on fitness zealotry with a side serving of culture-war intrigue... diverting' Financial Times

'Mischievous Lionel Shriver takes aim at the narcissistic modern cult of exercise. When Serenata's usually sedentary husband, Remington, takes up exercise and engages an attractive personal trainer called Bambi, the couple's lives are turned upside down.' The Times Best Books for Summer 2020
