Jack is a teenager who wants nothing more than to be normal - even if being norm
al means having divorced parents and a rather strange best friend. But when Jack
's father takes him out rowing on a lake and tells his son that he's gay, nothin
g will ever be normal again. Out of Jack's struggle to redefine 'family', comes
a work of enormous humour, charm and resonance, the most convincing, funny and i
nsightful novel about adolescence since The Catcher in the Rye.
