Summary

Families. Sometimes they're a bloody nightmare....

Life with the Radleys: Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours and self-denial. Loads of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose. When teenage daughter Clara gets attacked on the way home from a party, she and her brother, Rowan, finally discover why they can't sleep, can't eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation and can't go outside unless they're smothered in factor 50.

With a visit from their lethally louche uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.

Missed potential

This felt like it could have been so much better than it actually was. I wasn't keen on the narrator, and the writing in the present tense just felt odd. Not for me.

A good listen

I didn’t realise the subject matter at first or I probably wouldn’t have read it, however I actually enjoyed this book.
