A Weekend in New York by Benjamin Markovits
'Elegant and absorbing.' Guardian 'A book to be savoured.' Observer 'Intimate, funny . . . Masterfully done.' Daily Mail 'Sophisticated and engrossing.' Literary Review Paul is a mid-ranking tennis professional on the ATP tour. His girlfriend Dana is an ex-model and photographer, and together with their two-year-old son they form a tableau of the contented upper-middle-class New York family. But Paul's parents and siblings have come to stay in the build-up to the US Open, and with summer storms brewing, several generations of domestic tension are brought to boiling point . . .
