'set
to be a crossover hit for the summer...
a refreshing alternative to much of the
paranormal fodder out there'
The Bookseller
'funny, scary and wickedly familiar...'
Alfonso Cuaron
'a sharp bloody tale of abstinence and indulgence
(and trying not to eat the neighbours)'

The
blurb:
Meet
the Radleys
Peter, Helen and their teenage children,
Clara and Rowan, live in an English town.
They are an everyday family, averagely dysfunctional,
averagely content. But as their children
have yet to find out, the Radleys have a
devastating secret.
From one of Britain's finest young novelists
comes a razor-sharp unpicking of adulthood
and family life. In this moving, thrilling
and extraordinary portrait of one unusual
family, The Radleys asks what we grow into
when we grow up, and explores what we gain
– and lose – when we deny our
appetites.
