Family Politics

'The funniest book about politics I have ever read' Alastair Campbell 'Blending sharp satire with wit... a comedic reflection on the divided world' The Scotsman 'The perfect read for anyone hooked on politics and enjoys good plot laced with humour' Sunday Express HilariousOFarrell knows his stuff and, in an election year, his wry take on British politics at its most febrile is terrific value Mail on Sunday _________________ All across Britain, a generation of grown-up children are graduating from university, moving back in to their old bedrooms and showing their gratitude by berating their parents for their out-of-date politics. All across Britain, a generation of grown-up children are graduating from university, moving back in to their old bedrooms and showing their gratitude by berating their parents for their out-of-date politics. But for proud and high-profile left-wingers Emma and Eddie Hughes, the return of their only child is a far greater challenge than they ever could have anticipated. Young Dylan had warned them there was something personal he needed to tell them, but nothing could have prepared his right-on parents for the shocking revelation he delivers. Their son is a Conservative. From John OFarrell, author of the bestselling political satire, Things Can Only Get Better, comes Family Politics, an insightful, sharply funny and and warm-hearted antidote to our divided times. _________________ Praise for John O'Farrell 'John OFarrell couldnt be unfunny if he tried Alan Johnson A joy to read but it is also highly relevant to the contemporary culture' John Boyne 'More laugh-out-loud gags than the Tory Party has had recent leadership campaigns' Big Issue A touch of self-deprecation and a sense of humour John OFarrell has these qualities in spades Guardian If everyone read this book the country would be a far better place. I laughed, I cried, I loved it Jim Down
