'Nobody writes women the way Jojo Moyes does' Jodi Picoult

Welcome to the Kennedy household: There’s Lila who wrote a bestseller about keeping your marriage alive. Now divorced, she watches her ex play happy families with another woman. There’s Bill – her stepdad – who moved in after Lila’s mum died.

He’s kind, old-fashioned and loves lentils just a little too much. Celie, Lila’s eldest, hates school. Hates it so much she’s stopped going.

Her mother’s fine with that – because she doesn’t know yet. Violet is nine and sings age-inappropriate rap songs, laughs at fart jokes and Lila dearly hopes she’ll never, ever change. Lastly, there’s Truant the dog.

He’s just taken a bite out of the American actor who’s suddenly landed on the Kennedy’s doorstep. This is Gene – Lila’s estranged father, and no one’s idea of a role model. He walked out on Lila and her mum years ago – and wherever he goes domestic discord follows.

Because Gene’s presence changes things in unexpected ways. Soon the girls discover a kindred spirit in a man always chasing life’s joys. Bill even loosens up.

And Lila finds herself, astonishingly, dating. Something is happening to the Kennedy household – but what is it? And will it break, or save, their family?
