Recenzii
"Fascinating and refreshing...brilliant." —San Francisco Chronicle
"Glorious entertainment, storytelling at its best, a piece of richly comic invention...mesmerizing." —Boston Globe
"[Carey's] work has a wild, chance-taking quality that seems to put him in harmony with the spirit of this age. If he keeps on as he has, he will prove to be one of its finest novelists." —Chicago Tribune

Descriere
A combustibly funny, harrowing and utterly original novel from the internationally acclaimed, Booker Prize-winning author of Oscar and Lucinda. Granny Catchprice runs her family business--and her family--with senility, cunning, and a handbag full of explosives. But a very pregnant agent of the Australian Taxation Office turns the family upside down in this darkly comic masterpiece.
