Description

A hilarious, dead-on-target story from the New York Times bestselling author of The Family Upstairs.

Brothers Tony, Sean, and Ned had the perfect upbringing, but now that they are grown up, real life is starting to get in the way. Tony's dealing with divorce and a weight problem.  Novelist Sean is up against a serious case of writer's block and a shock announcement from his "perfect" new girlfriend. Their parents have a new lodger, Gervase--why is Bernie, their mother, so keen to give this unsavory waif a home?  And what is the real reason for kid brother Ned's surprise return from his travels in Australia?
