A sizzling black comedy from one of Britain's leading young writers.

After twelve years in London Michelle is looking for a fresh start. Selling her small flat in Clapham, she has bought a large house overlooking the estate where she grew up. Michelle invites her family for a homecoming celebration but the barbecue will not light, they hate the fancy food and her sister thinks the house is haunted. As they toast new beginnings, Michelle realises that her life may not be as perfect as she planned.

“a feast of crackling dialogue, sharply drawn characters and great jokes” The Telegraph
