Description
The book Perfectly Good Family is about inheritance and how it affects the characters in the book. The book is divided into three parts: the first part is about Lionel Shriver's family and how they inherit money. The second part is about the characters' psychological inheritance and how it affects them. The third part is about how the characters deal with their inheritance.
Following the success of We Need to Talk About Kevin this is a stunning examination of inheritance, literal and psychological: what we take from our parents, what we discard, and what we are stuck with, like it or not.
