Description
Britain's bestselling writer returns with a witty and whimsical tale of love, loss, and the family dynamic.
Manhattan's wealthy Upper East Side has its own rigid code of behaviour, one strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family.
Emotional displays - unacceptable.
Unruly behaviour - definitely not welcome.
Fun - no thanks.
So when Rosie Kitto, an eccentric primary school teacher from England, bounces into this fortress of restraint with a heart as big as the city, the family quickly discovers that she hasn't read the rule book. And after a lifetime of saying no, what happens when everyone starts saying . . . YES?
