"In this wildly funny novel, women-on-the-edge-of-a-nervous-breakdown Betty and Martha take us on a madcap journey through Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Greece, as they try to resolve their relationships with their all-too frail and human fathers. Sinead Crowe's seamless translation captures the humour, self-irony, honesty and wisdom of Betty's lively narrative." Antonia Lloyd-Jones, translator of Olga Tokarczuk
