Synopsis :

Everything starts to go wrong for the price family when their 'perfect family' picture appears in the local paper. Their apparent wealth tempts Eva and John to kidnap their eldest daughter, and suddenly the Price family - middle-class, ordinary, happily existing in the London suburbs - have to deal with their world turning upside down. They gradually start to lose their house, money, status and everything they know as normal. Meanwhile the two kidnappers - the unstable Eva and her compliant boyfriend Jon -have to face the fact that 500, 000 of somone elses money might not be the answer to their problems.

Revue de presse: "Deborah Moggach is a delight to read-her characters are wonderfully alive, and their stories grip us unequivocally... the novel is enjoyable from first to last" (Daily Telegraph)

"It is characterisation at which Moggach excels. Her gift is to perceive and describe our confusions about life... and to write with feeling about the continual quest for love and happiness that is part of the human condition" (Sunday Times)

"A neat plot... [with] dark flashes of hubris and nemesis" (Guardian)

"Moggach's subject is the rickety edifice we call the family, which she comes at armed with both a wrecking ball and an insatiable curiosity to note the particular way it collapses" (Independent)

"She is a terrific plotter" (Guardian)
