'An amazing debut . . . All the characters are brilliant, but Del is the best' Daily Mail 'A droll, poignant debut with one-liners to bring the house down' Saga Magazine, Book of the Month'Intensely moving . . . ideal for autumn evenings under a duvet' Stylist magazine------------------------------------Home is certainly not where Del's heart is. After a local scandal led to her parents' divorce and the rest of her family turned their backs on her, Del left her small town and cut off contact. Now, with both of her parents gone, a chance has arrived for Del to retaliate. Her uncle wants the one thing Del inherited: the family home. Instead of handing the place over, and with no other resources at her disposal, Del decides she will tear the place apart herself - piece by piece. But Del will soon discover, the task stirs up more than just old memories as relatives - each in their own state of unravelling - come knocking on her door. This is a story not only about the powerlessness and hurt that run through a family but also about the moments when brokenness can offer us the rare chance to start again.------------------------------------'A brilliant and exciting debut' Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
