'Profoundly moving. I cannot remember when I last read something as touching as this' Amitav Ghosh
'Hilarious reckless brilliant' Kiran Desai
In a tiny flat in Bombay Imelda Mendes - Em to her family - is by turns flamboyant maniacally affectionate and cruelly candid. Her husband - Augustine the 'Big Hoom' - and two children must endure her 'microweathers': swings from searing joy to brooding malevolence.
And here is the story of how this family of four came to be. Of how Imelda was courted by Augustine - 'Hello Buttercup' - and of how with the passage of time and the arrival of her children she slowly turned into Em loving and loathing a world terrified of her extravagant excesses . . .
'A near-perfect account of a psychologically troubled mother. Touching and funny' Irish Times
'Delightful. Pinto is quite a genius with dialogue' Guardian
