Did You Ever Have a Family

Did You Ever Have a Family
Bill Clegg
Jonathan Cape - $37.00
We all have families. What do you do when your family has just been destroyed?
Longlisted for the Man Booker prize – before it has even been published!
Lit by the clarity of understanding that true sadness brings, Did You Ever Have a Family is an elegant, unforgettable story that reveals humanity at its worst and its best, through loss and love, fracture and forgiveness. At the book’s heart is the idea of family – the ones we are born with and the ones we create – and the desire, in the face of everything, to go on living.
