Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Witty, astute, and irresistibly readable, All Adults Here is a novel about how to survive inside a modern family from the New York Times bestselling author of The Vacationers.

Astrid Strick has always tried to do her best for her children. Now, they're finally grown up - but you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise.

Elliot doesn't have any idea who he really is, or how to communicate with his sons. Porter is, finally, pregnant - but feels incapable of rising to the challenge. Nicky has fled to distant New Mexico to live the bohemian dream.

And Astrid is up to things that would make her children's hair curl.

Until now, the family have managed to hide from each other. But when Nicky's daughter Cecelia comes to stay, her arrival threatens to upturn everything...

Emma Straub's All Adults Here has been widely praised for its warmth, humour, and insightful portrayal of family dynamics. Reviewers have noted its ability to blend levity with deep, perceptive insights into the human condition, likening it to works by Ann Patchett and Anne Tyler. Critics have particularly highlighted the book's engaging, well-drawn characters and its exploration of themes such as ageing, family roles, and personal growth, set against the backdrop of small-town life in upstate New York.
