A world where everyday life crackles with the electricity sparking between men and women, between parents and children, between friends. A son confesses to his mother that he is cheating on his girlfriend; a student falls in love with her lecturer and embarks on an affair with a man in the pub who looks just like him. Young mothers pent-up in childcare dream treacherously of other possibilities; a boy becomes aware of the woman, a guest at his parents' holiday home, who is pressing up too close against him on the beach. Hidden away inside the present, the past is explosive; the future can open unexpectedly out of any chance encounter; ordinary moments are illuminated with lightning flashes of dread or pleasure. These stories about family life are somehow undomesticated and dangerous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'She is the writer we didn't know we were waiting for, until she arrived' Anne Enright, Guardian\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43697755947052,"sku":"9780099499251","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780099499251.jpg?v=1722602516","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780099499251","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
