A Week of This follows the lives of an extended family over one increasingly desperate week. At the centre of the novel is 38-year-old Manda, a tough, sarcastic woman who has yet to make peace with the town she was brought to as a teenager after her parents' messy divorce. Full of barbed dialogue and hilariously deadpan descriptions of family dynamics and the kind of awkward social dances that are performed every day, A Week of This is a book for people who always feel a little out of place wherever they are.
