What an amazing book! I wasn’t sure about the story at the start - 4 entitled children of a self-taught and flamboyant artist gather after his death to find out how he died - but the detailed writing and beautifully evolving storyline pulled me in and I was hooked. Rachel Joyce writes with compelling gentleness and teases out the nuances and imperfections of family life, the effect of an egotistical father on his children and the power of love. And what an ending! This is her best book yet.
