What could possibly go wrong? Carly loves her family. She really does. It’s just that now her three children are grown up, she thought it was her time.

Everyone talks about the empty nest and how difficult that can be. But Carly and her husband, Frank, have often fantasised about it – meals without arguments, conversation without shouting over the sound of the Xbox, holidays planned around the culture not the next adventure. But Carly’s nest is far from empty.

Her elderly dad needs more support and is moving in ‘temporarily’. On top of which, Carly’s son, Eddie, is far too comfortable at home – why go out and get a job, when your parents keep you fed and your clothes laundered? And just when Carly is starting to pull her hair out, Eddie drops a bombshell that changes everything. Is there room in the nest for one more?

Ma il nido di Carly è tutt’altro che vuoto.

Il suo anziano padre ha bisogno di più sostegno e si trasferisce “temporaneamente”. Oltre a ciò, il figlio di Carly, Eddie, si trova fin troppo bene a casa: perché uscire e cercarsi un lavoro, quando i tuoi genitori ti danno da mangiare e ti lavano i vestiti? E proprio quando Carly sta iniziando a strapparsi i capelli, Eddie lancia una bomba che cambia tutto. C’è posto nel nido per un altro? Fiona Gibson è tornata con il suo romanzo brillantemente divertente sulla famiglia, le frustrazioni e il ritrovarsi nel caos.
