Description - Various Pets Alive and Dead by Marina Lewycka

Lentils, free love and radical politics . . . the wonderfully funny fourth novel from Britain's bestselling comic novelist, beautifully packaged in a striking new style

For twenty years Doro and Marcus lived in a commune, convinced lentils and free love would change the world. They didn't. What they did do was give their children a terror of radicalism, dirt, cooking rotas and poverty. Their daughter Clara wants nothing less conformist than her own, clean bathroom. Their son Serge hides the awkward fact that he's a banker earning loadsamoney. So when Doro and Marcus spring a surprise on their kids - just as the world is rocked in ways they always wished for - the family is forced to confront some thorny truths about themselves . . .
