Family Politics
John O'Farrell
A hilarious political satire for voters of any hue, author John O'Farrell explores a divided household in a divided country that has to learn to live together.
'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 'Hilarious...O'Farrell 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from university, moving back in to their old bedrooms and showing their gratitude by berating their parents for their out-of-date politics.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from university, moving back in to their old bedrooms and showing their gratitude by berating their parents for their out-of-date politics.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 O'Farrell, author of the bestselling political satire, Things Can Only Get Better, comes Family Politics, an insightful, sharply funny and warm-hearted antidote to our divided times.

John O'Farrell 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
