Pressestimmen
Lewycka is not only witty but astute . . . it is a charming, beautifully observed novel, and those who label Lewycka a merely whimsical or quirky comic writer woefully underestimate her abilities (Independent on Sunday )
Kurzbeschreibung
Marcus and Doro were part of a left wing commune from the late 1960s until the early 1990s: lentils, free love, spliffs, radical politics, cheesecloth blouses, sex, housework and cooking rotas, crochet, allotments. Their children have grown up rather different from them: primary schoolteacher Clara craves order and clean bathrooms, son Serge is pretending to his parents that he is still doing a Maths PhD at Cambridge, while in fact working making loadsa money in the City; third child Oolie Anna, who has Downs Syndrome, is desperate to escape home and live on her own. Once the truth starts breaking through, who knows what further secrets will be revealed about any of them? Set half in Doncaster, half in London, this is a very funny riff on modern values, featuring hamsters, cockroaches, poodles, a Chicken and multiplying rabbits, told by Marina Lewycka in her unique and brilliant combination of irony, farce and wit.

Just to see Marina Lewycka's name guarantees that the reader will be not be wasting their time. I've read all of her books and each at least equals the former. This is one of those books which will have readers compelled to find that extra hour each day to read. Wonderful!

Reviewed in The Economist quite favorably 10/3/2012. A derivative work exploiting 60's hippies and 2008 investment bankers in a topical collage of reflection on our current times. Rather too flowery for my taste, a tendency towards to Mills and Boon.

Hilarious and nostalgic view of the future

Marina Lewycka displays her usual wit with social criticism in this touching family portrait. I loved how she's able to set up major characters and their relationship using little detours to the past of the crazy life of a commune in Northern England. This book keeps jumping from one point of view to another, which allows it to explore an environment of a depressing local school, life of a mother who clings to her adult child with Down syndrome and the virtual reality of financial markets. However, I found the last the most fascinating and timely, with a family genius son Serge struggling to win his Ukrainian princess and a castle in Brazil through covert trips to a disabled bathroom of a bank in the City of London. I felt sorry every time the book jumped from the risky world of short selling and hedging to the fight for some allotment gardens that was lost from the beginning. Especially, I wish the end of Serge's adventures was a bit more developed. Otherwise, a great funny book that will make you feel both angry at the current financial system and ashamed for not calling your mother more often.
