Hardback
What does it mean for a stranger to think you're brave?
Nola McConkey has made it. Animal Oracle, the memoir she has written about her beloved late sister Darina, has become a hit. People read it, critics loved it, producers now want to make it into a movie. There's only one problem- everyone in her family has an opinion about the book - and none of them are good.
Now, someone has made an anonymous complaint to her publisher about Animal Oracle. Nola is sure that only someone in her secretive, chaotic family could be to blame. As her parents and three remaining siblings prepare to spend the fifth anniversary of Darina's death together on the isolated island of Lundy, Nola knows this is the perfect opportunity to convince her accuser to pull the complaint before it causes irreparable damage - but first, she must discover who made it.
A Real Piece of Work is a sparkling and spiky story of complicated families and even more complicated sisters, narrated with tenderness, nuance and wit.
