Dawn French, bestselling author of A Tiny Bit Marvellous and Oh Dear Silvia, presents her joyously funny new novel, set in Manhattan's Upper East Side, where the wealthy Wilder-Bingham family strictly adheres to a rigid code of behaviour. Emotional displays are unacceptable, unruly behaviour is unwelcome, and fun is off the table in Glenn Wilder-Bingham's impeccably edited fortress of restraint. Enter Rosie Kitto, a quirky thirty-eight-year-old primary school teacher from England, who brings with her a secret sorrow and a heart as expansive as the city itself. Unbeknownst to the family, Rosie hasn't read the rule book, and her arrival sets off a chain reaction that unravels their carefully constructed lives. As the family grapples with the consequences of embracing joy and spontaneity, they find themselves transformed. Praise for the novel highlights its charm and wit, with readers noting Rosie's ability to bring warmth and comfort to the unhappy family. Critics commend French's storytelling, which distinguishes the book from typical chick-lit, and celebrate its exploration of love, grief, and family life. The narrative is described as funny, enriching, and a delightful romp that changes lives for the better, making it a highly recommended read.
