‘The Homemade God’ by Rachel Joyce

Hardback, Doubleday, £20

Extraordinarily compelling. A novel about sibling relationships and the hairline cracks that can appear within a family: what happens when they splinter, and what it would take to mend them.

Goose and his three sisters gather by Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. Their artist father has remarried a younger woman and decamped there to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting.

As the siblings search for answers, the things they learn - about themselves, their father and their new stepmother drive them apart before they discover their father’s legacy.
