THE BOOK CLUB BOOK This poetic book is really memorable - the story of an autistic mother and free-spirited daughter whose lives change when a charming new couple move in next door. The mother, Sunday Forrester, is neuro-diverse - she doesn't understand the world in the way that most people do, for example sometimes being compelled to only eat white foods. Social situations are confusing for her, despite reading her etiquette handbook of how people should behave. Another source of how things should be comes from her mother's family - the folk stories from her Sicilian heritage. Sunday lives with her sixteen-year-old daughter, Dolly, her clever, independent-minded, teenage daughter. Into this world come Vita and Rollo, their new next door neighbours. With their elegance and charm what impact will they have on the structured and controlled world that Sunday has created? And what will be the impact on Dolly, and the relationship between mother and daughter, especially since Vita has always wanted a daughter like Dolly... *LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2023* *SHORTLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 2024* 'Delicate and strong...
