About this ebook
'Massively entertaining, scorching, brilliant, witty, shocking, spirited and psychologically penetrating' Bernardine Evaristo
Don't people normally have to die first before their family start badmouthing them?
Ellen's big, beautiful family are gathered around her hospital bed as she prepares to slip away (and boy, is she ready). You'd think she could finally get some peace and quiet, but instead her children have chosen now of all times to have a never-ending discussion about all her failings. Every single tiny thing they think she's done wrong over the years - and the one big thing too. Even after everything, after all the sacrifices Ellen has made for every last ungrateful one of them, they still all take their father's side. If only they knew the whole story ...
Full of big personalities, big mistakes, burning love and quiet heartbreak, Good Good Loving is as devastatingly sad as it is riotously warm and funny - overflowing with irrepressible joy.
