Family is everything even when it falls apart. Discover the brand-new novel from the multi-million-copy bestselling author. AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER! 'The perfect holiday read ...There's a new heft and grandeur not only in the sophisticated characters and the fancy Italian real estate but in the hidden darkness that can exist in a family ... Rachel Joyce is firing on all cylinders.' THE TIMES 'A masterly and deeply satisfying exploration of art grief and familial bonds.' OBSERVER 'Warm and emotionally astute.' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'A sharp absorbing and emotionally intelligent novel.' GUARDIAN 'A beautifully written family drama ... Long after I finished the last page I found I missed these characters - always the sign of a special book' - GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 'A thoroughly engaging examination of familial truths that define and endanger the precious ever-precarious sibling bond. The beautiful writing unforgettable characters and stunning setting make this a must-read.' - Bonnie Garmus author of Lessons in Chemistry There is a heatwave across Europe. Goose and his three sisters gather at the family's house by Lake Orta in Piedmont Italy. Their father a famous artist has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting. Although the siblings have always been close as they search for answers over that summer the things they learn - about themselves their father and their new stepmother - will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father's legacy truly is. Extraordinarily compelling at heart this is a novel about sibling relationships and those hairline cracks that can appear within a family: what what happens when they splinter and what it would take to mend them.

If you are a fan of Maggie O'Farrell you must read this.' - Louise Minchin TV presenter and author of Isolation Island 'The renowned artist - the emotionally starved children - what an inspired subject! Joyce writes with her trademark vitality and compassion and there is such colour here. So much at stake.

My life is a little emptier now it's over.' - Patrick Gale author of A Place Called Winter 'Sparkling and addictive ... Rachel Joyce is so incredibly good and wise on families and siblings. I couldn't love it more.' - Harriet Evans author of The Garden of Lost and Found 'A triumph of insight and empathy!' - Clare Chambers author of Small Pleasures 'Joyce is a fearless explorer of emotional landscape.' - Sunday Times 'If only there were more novelists like Rachel Joyce' - Telegraph
