<p><b>'O</b><b>ne of the best novels I've read this year from an unusually gifted writer' <i>IRISH TIMES</i></b><br><b>'A</b><b> wonderfully stylish writer with an unwavering eye' JOHN PATRICK McHUGH</b><br><b>'Perfectly calibrated . . . These characters spike off the page' A. K. BLAKEMORE</b><br><br>How do you mourn someone you never really knew?<br><br> Three siblings - Anna, Gemma and Matthew - will have to work that out quickly. Monday is the day of their gentle, but distant, father's funeral, and for the first time in a long while they are under one roof with their mother, imperious Yvonne, awaiting the arrival of their aunt Amy, an award-winning poet.<br><br> Yet, as the funeral looms, their everyday concerns refuse to diminish: will newly sex-obsessed Gemma work out what she wants from life, beyond her mother's expectations? Can Anna maintain the fine balance between desire and nonchalance with her not-quite-exclusive boyfriend back in London? Will Amy's past explode the relationships of the present? And, crucially, will Yvonne pull off her grand, post-funeral family dinner, the solution to what she fears may be an unsolvable problem?<br><br> Told from five perspectives, <i>into the wreck</i> worries at the knotty complexities of one family's bonds, written with Susannah Dickey's trademark empathy and wit.<br><br><b>A rare talent, and certainly one to watch' <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i></b><br><b>'One of literature's major new talents' <i>OBSERVER</i></b><br><b>'O</b><b>ne of the funniest and most insightful novelists writing today' NELL FRIZZELL</b></p>
