Things We Need

Product Description

' In the Coffey house there was always a list taped to the refrigerator. At the top it was titled: Things We Need. The title was always capped & underlined as if to stress that yes this is important these aren't just things we want these are things we need.' Will & Weezy Coffey thought they'd prepared their three children for the challenges & hurdles of adult life. But being a grown-up isn't easy. Claire's engagement has been called off & she's hiding from her debts. Martha's in a career crisis & even her sympathetic therapist is losing patience. & Max the baby of the family in his final year at college has got himself into a serious girlfriend fiasco. Things We Need tells a story we all recognise only a wittier wiser version. Jennifer Close turns her gimlet eye & deadpan humour on the messiness of family life. A story about modern life & the place we return to when things go drastically awry: home.
