I thought the beginning interesting enough to carry on reading, but the initial impetus didn't last - not for me, at any rate. I read to the end to see if it would get better; it didn't. A cast of hopeless characters, with the main one being one of the nastiest I've come across in many years of reading. The reviews say "a subtle, funny family farce". I fear I found it tedious, unamusing and unpleasant.
