Description
When Iris' father dies, she is shocked to learn that she and her siblings are not allowed to attend his funeral. Based in London, Alekos was a successful if controversial Greek sculptor, and his many marriages resulted in numerous far-flung children. His last wife and now widow is determined that they stay away, but for the first time, all the sisters and brothers meet up and plan to take matters into their own hands.
A tragi-comic story about a dispersed and dysfunctional family coming together, Stealing Dad addresses bereavement and the problems of dealing with death and grieving in a modern society that has forgotten its rituals.
Wonderfully written and sharply funny, Stealing Dad tells the unlikely story of a dysfunctional family coming together in tragic yet hilarious ways, from acclaimed author of Putney, Sofka Zinovieff.
