Cuckoo

A sharply funny and well-observed novel about an unconventional family from the award-winning writer, journalist and podcaster, Nell Frizzell.

After Nancy`s father dies, she is faced with two life-changing revelations.

One- She has a half-brother she knew nothing about.

Nancy`s world is punched inside out at the discovery of a mysterious new sibling. But she can`t help but feel curious about Oliver, this stranger who shares her DNA. Her sister Rita, on the other hand, is furious and wants nothing to do with their `cuckoo` brother.

Two- She`s pregnant.

The father - Nancy`s not-quite-boyfriend from her not-quite-relationship - doesn`t want to commit any time soon. He isn`t even in the same continent as her right now. And with her mother and sister in shock about Oliver, Nancy`s struggling to find someone to turn to for support.

In a tumult of grief, fear and hope, Nancy pushes herself into an uncertain future as she rethinks what really makes a family. But there`s one more thought in the back of her head...

Is there space in her family for two more?
