Product Description
SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021
‘Outrageous satire . . . extremely funny, weirdly touching’ – Guardian
‘A work of genius’ – Scotsman
‘Close-to-the-knuckle farce with a big beating heart’ – Daily Mail
This is the story of an unusual family. Though they are nothing like yours, you will recognize them. They are the last Cannibal-Americans. And they have a problem.
When their mother dies, twelve children gather to dispose of the body in the traditional manner . . . by eating it. But can they follow the ancient rituals of consumption? Is their unique cultural heritage worth preserving if it''s this gross? And what about dietary requirements - one of them is vegan. Surely it can''t be this hard to do the right thing?
Mother for Dinner is a dark comedy about modern life and its many difficulties.
