Is your family like this?

Recommended fiction if you have kids over 12 - David Nicholls' wry, sharp take on family life.

David Nicholls has a gift for catching the small, ordinary moments of family life that hit harder than any plot twist.

If your kids are 12+, this is one to read together - or at least pass between you. It opens conversations.

Funny, painful, perfectly observed. Read it on holiday and expect to put it down often.
