A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon

Real people, real life, real location! Who would have thought reality could be such a page turner. This beautifully written story is compelling reading and yet any of us could be married to George, be arranging our daughter's on/off wedding or worrying about our son's love life. Haddon shows an understanding of family dynamics and portray crisis, learning and eventual harmony with great expertise and humour.
