'Immaculate' Financial Times  'A triumph' Daily Telegraph    For readers who loved Sorrow and
Bliss or Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine - an unforgettable story of a mother and daughter
whose lives are upended when a charming new couple move in next door.   Sunday Forrester lives
with her sixteen-year-old daughter  Dolly  in the house she grew up in. She does things more
carefully than most people. On quiet days  she must eat only white foods. Her etiquette
handbook guides her through confusing social situations  and to escape  she turns to her
treasury of Sicilian folklore. The one thing very much out of her control is Dolly - her clever
headstrong  teenaged daughter.  Into this carefully ordered world step Vita and Rollo  a couple
who move in next door  disarm Sunday with their charm  and proceed to deliciously break just
about every rule in Sunday's book. Soon they are in and out of each others' homes  and Sunday
feels loved and accepted like never before. But beneath Vita and Rollo's polish lies something
else  something darker. For beneath Vita's charm lies a desperation and a certain entitled
ambition - to have a daughter just like Dolly  all to herself.
