But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and theyve barely spoken since. Until now, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help.Madisons twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, theres a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg, but its the truth.Thinking of her dead-end life at home, the life that has consistently disappointed her, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid, demanding summer, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other-and stay cool-while also staying out of the way of Madisons buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her-urgently and fiercely. Couldnt this be the start of the amazing life shed always hoped for?With white-hot wit and a big, tender heart, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet-a most unusual story of parental love.ReviewI cant believe how good this book is. . . . Wholly original. Its also perfect. . . . Wilson writes with such a light touch. . . . Thats the brilliance of the novel-that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didnt see coming. - Taffy Brodesser-Akner, The New York Times Book ReviewA peculiar, entertaining and insightful book about the hazards of child-rearing and the value of friends. - People"[Wilsons] most perfect novel. Paradoxically light and melancholy, it hews to the border of fantasy but stays in the land of realism. . . . You can sense the real heat radiating off these pages. . . . This novel may seem slight and quirky, but dont be fooled. Theres a lot to see here."- Washington PostIts a giddily lunatic premise, one that author Kevin Wilson grounds with humor and deadpan matter-of-factness. . . . Wilsons observational humor is riotous in its specificity. . . . The writing dazzles. . . . But what dazzles most are the warmly rendered dynamics of an ad hoc, dysfunctional family that desperately wants to work. - USA TodayTheres hardly a sentence that feels like anything youve read before, thats how fresh his voice is. . . . Witty, confiding, breezily profane. . . . That the supernatural elements feel so right is a testament to Wilsons innate skill as a storyteller. - Entertainment WeeklyA pleasing blend of tartness and tenderness. . . . . Wilsons ability to capture such tangled sentiments makes him a thoroughly engaging and appealing writer. - Boston GlobeDarkly funny yet quietly devastating. . . . Wilson crafts a stunning portrait of the push and pull of parenthood. - Time. N� de ref. del art�culo: DADAX0062913492
