Michaelo OâDell is hit by a car, and when he doesnât die, he is surprised and pleased. But he canât seem to move, frozen in the crash position. He canât concentrate, or control his anger and grief, or work out what to do about much of anything. His professional life begins to crumble, and although his wife Wendy is heroically supportive, his teenage children only exacerbate his post-accident angst. His daughter Rosie punches out a vindictive schoolmate, plunging the family into a special parent-teacher hell. Meanwhile, his son Declan is found with a stash of illicit drugs, and a strange policeman starts harassing the family, causing ordinary mishaps to take on a sinister desperation.Equal parts hilarious and painful, this compelling novel delves into the difficulties of family, love, and the precarious business of being a man. Mark Lamprellâs extraordinary debut examines the terrible truth: sometimes you canât pull yourself together until youâve completely fallen apart.
