À propos de ce contenu audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

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?

Smart and funny, it had me from page one
Reliably compelling, always insightful and very entertaining writing from the wonderful Nell Frizzell
Cuckoo is so warm, tender and beautiful . . . This is a spellbinding story about love, families and what makes us truly grow up. I adored it
Carefully observed and sensitively described . . . poignant
This was stunning . . . a really different kind of 'found family' novel. I was so invested in the characters by the end that I kept picking up the book again to see if there was any more
Nell has that special ability to write about the most true, most slippery parts of life in a deliciously frank, simple and frequently hilarious way - she'll make you laugh, cry and think
A frank and funny exploration of family
Nell Frizzell is one of our funniest and most observant writers - how lucky we are to have her
The wondrous Nell Frizzell does 'when ancestry,com goes wrong' (great premise) with very entertaining weird family results
Funny and full of life and ideas, reading Nell Frizzell is like meeting a new friend
