How do you mourn someone you never really knew?

Three siblings â" Anna, Gemma and Matthew â" will have to work that out quickly. Monday is the day of their gentle, but distant, fatherâs 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.

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 motherâs expectations? Can Anna maintain the fine balance between desire and nonchalance with her not-quite-exclusive boyfriend back in London? Will Amyâs 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?

Told from five perspectives, into the wreck worries at the knotty complexities of one familyâs bonds, written with Susannah Dickeyâs trademark empathy and wit.
