About the Book

Marco and Doro's children have grown up rather different from them: primary schoolteacher Clara craves order and clean bathrooms; son Serge is pretending to his parents that is still doing a Maths PhD at Cambridge, while in fact making loadsamoney in the City; third child Oolie Anna, who has Down Syndrome, is desperate to escape home and live on her own. Once the truth starts breaking through, who knows what further secrets will be revealed about any of them? Set half in Doncaster, half in London, this is a very funny riff on modern values, featuring hamsters, cockroaches, poodles, a chicken and multiplying rabbits, told by Marina Lewycka in her unique and brilliant combination of irony, farce and wit.

About the Author :
Marina Lewycka is a British novelist of Ukrainian origin, currently living in Sheffield, England. Siân Thomas is a Welsh actress who trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama. She has appeared on stage, on TV and in films such as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in which she played Amelia Bones. She was part of the cast of the musical Spring Awakening in London until May 2009 (when the show closed), playing the 'Adult Women'. In 2002 she appeared in London's West End theatre production Up for Grabs with Madonna. She has a particularly effective voice for reading modern poetry, which is often deployed on the BBC Radio 3 program Words and Music.

Review :
'An affectionate picture of a free-thinking, beatnik lifestyle now regarded as batty, but which was underpinned by a real desire to change the world. We could all do with a bit more of that.' 'Thank heavens for Marina Lewycka whose Various Pets Alive and Dead me laugh at least once in every chapter ... The warmth of its tone, its zest, its blend of quirky, humane comedy and intellectual seriousness make this a novel to treasure.' 'Marina Lewycka's latest novel is wonderfully funny with moments of pure farce in the best tradition of social satire ... this inventive and witty book fizzes along from beginning to end.'
