Various Pets Alive and Dead

Lewycka, Marina

Omschrijving

Now in paperback, the wonderfully funny 4th novel from Marina Lewycka. The 3 children of a hippy couple, brought up in a left wing commune, have all turned out rather different to their parents. Clara, a primary schoolteacher craves order and clean bathrooms; Serge is pretending that he's finishing a PhD at Cambridge, when in fact he's earning a packet in the City; and their youngest, Oolie Anna, who has Downs Syndrome, is desperate to escape home and live on her own. 'Wonderfully funny...a dizzy, eye-watering treat..Lewycka is somewhere between Hilary Mantel in her satirical mode and Sue Townsend' }Independent For twenty years Doro and Marcus lived in a commune, convinced lentils and free love would change the world. They didn't. What they did do was give their children a terror of radicalism, dirt, cooking rotas and poverty. So when Doro and Marcus spring a surprise on their kids the family is forced to confront some thorny truths about themselves...
