Description
Ken is so obsessed with death that he’s planning his own funeral – right down to the last morbid detail. He will die in the bosom of his family. There’s just one problem. His family want nothing to do with him. His upwardly mobile son Nick hasn’t seen him in fifteen years – and doesn’t want to be reminded of the miserable old man he escaped. But Ken is nothing if not dogged. Whether he likes it or not, Ken’s going to remind him of exactly what Nick has been missing … And who he really is.

| About The Author | Louise Dean is the author of three previous novels: Becoming Strangers, which was awarded the Betty Trask Prize in 2004 and was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Guardian First Book Award, This Human Season and The Idea of Love. She lives in Kent and has three children. |
Channels the rough music of everyday life with a tragicomic subtlety, a pin-sharp ear for dialogue and a flair for every nuance of character and class. Louise Dean's fearless, frank and darkly comic novels have brought a fresh colour and character to English fiction |
|
| Other text | Dark, scurrilous and richly comic. There is so much to treasure in this terrific book, but its deepest joy is the sharp, perceptive writing |
