The Most Fun We Ever Had – Longlisted for the Women`s Prize for Fiction 2020
Longlisted for the Women`s Prize for Fiction 2020At a family wedding, the four Sorenson sisters polka-dot the green lawn in their summer pastels, with varying shades of hair and varying degrees of unease. Their long-infatuated parents watch on with a combination of love and concern.Sixteen years later, the already messy lives of the sisters are thrown into turmoil by the unexpected reappearance of a teenage boy given up for adoption years earlier – and the rich and varied tapestry of the Sorensons` past is revealed.Weaving between past and present, `The Most Fun We Ever Had` portrays the delights and difficulties of family life and the endlessly complex mixture of affection and abhorrence we feel for those closest to us. A dazzlingly accomplished debut and an utterly immersive portrait of one family`s becoming, it marks the arrival of a major new literary voice.
