A laugh-out-loud novel about family, bank fraud and Britain from the bestselling author of A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian

After walking out on his wife to shack up with 'Brexit Brenda' next door, George Pantis thinks he's got it made - especially when he wins millions on a Kosovan lottery he barely remembers entering. Unfortunately, he can't access the money because he's forgotten his password. What is he meant to tell all the forceful people who keep appearing at his doorstep desperate to know his mother's maiden name? The situation is shadier than he thinks, and George is need of rescue. But will his dysfunctional family be able to save him, and in the process, can they save each other?

A rare treat, all too easy to gulp down in one greedy sitting * Spectator, on A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian * Lively . . . a joy to read * The Times, on The Lubetkin Legacy * Lewycka is a seriously talented comic writer * Time Out * This brisk Brexit fable is warmly funny * Daily Mail * Her state-of-the-nation novel crackles with zingy one-liners and shrewd humour * Mail on Sunday * Lewycka has carved out a reputation for tackling Big Topics with wit and humour * Radio Times *
