A Modern Family by Helga Flatland

A Modern Family by Helga Flatland

The Norwegian Anne Tyler makes her English debut in a beautiful, bittersweet novel of regret, relationships and rare psychological insights

If you love Anne Tyler, you will ADORE this." --Joanna Cannon, author, The Trouble with Goats and Sheep
