Inhaltsangabe

Paralysed by grief and guilt after his mother's death, Adam turns down a promotion to art director of an upscale men's magazine. His wife Sasha has just turned 40 and thinks that her unemployed, depressed, lying around the house smoking dope husband just doesn't fancy her any more. They are both too absorbed in themselves, their own problems and the logistics of running a household that contains two eight-year-old boys, to notice that thirteen-year-old Liffy is teetering on the verge of anorexia. And then she falls in.Liffy's aunt, Lisa, knows something is wrong, but is distracted by her work as a lecturer in music and her rollercoaster affair with a Russian pianist. Will someone see what's happening to Liffy before it's too late?
