The brilliant new novel from chart-topping author and comedian Dawn French.
Dawn French, number one bestselling author of “A Tiny Bit Marvellous "and "Oh Dear Silvia,” returns with a joyously funny new novel."
The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy – otherwise known as Manhattan's Upper East Side – has its own rigid code of behaviour. It's a code strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family.
Emotional displays – unacceptable.
Unruly behaviour – definitely not welcome.
Fun – no thanks.
This is Glenn Wilder-Bingham's kingdom. A beautifully-displayed impeccably-edited fortress of restraint.
So when Rosie Kitto, an eccentric thirty-eight-year-old primary school teacher from England, bounces into their lives with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises that she hasn't read the rule book.
For the Wilder-Bingham family, whose lives begin to unravel thread by thread, the consequences are explosive. Because after a lifetime of saying no, what happens when everyone starts saying yes?
