- 'Elegant and absorbing.' Guardian 'A book to be savoured.' Observer 'Intimate, funny . . . Masterfully done.' Daily Mail 'Sophisticated and engrossing.'

But Paul's parents and siblings have come to stay in the build-up to the US Open, and with summer storms brewing, several generations of domestic tension are brought to boiling point . . .
