' I loved every page of this funny, warm, delightful novel!' LIANE MORIARTYYou can marry into them, but can you ever really be one of them? A novel about marriage, love and family. Things haven' t gone well for Simon Larsen lately. He adores his wife, Tansy, and his children, but since his business failed and he lost the family home, he can' t seem to get off the couch. His larger-than-life in-laws, the Schnabels - Tansy' s mother, sister and brother - won' t get off his case. To keep everyone happy, Simon needs to do one little job: he has a week to landscape a friend' s backyard for an important Schnabel family event. But as the week progresses, Simon is derailed by the arrival of an unexpected house guest. Then he discovers Tansy is harbouring a secret. As his world spins out of control, who can Simon really count on when the chips are down? Life with the Schnabels is messy, chaotic and joyful, and Dinner with the Schnabels is as heartwarming as it is outrageously funny. Praise for Dinner with the Schnabels:' Told with great humour and pathos. It is a tonic and a delight.
