'Fresh, authentic and darkly funny. It's a beautifully told story full of warmth and emotion without ever being sentimental - I absolutely loved it' Ruth Hogan, bestselling author of The Keeper of Lost Things

When her attempts to do so lead to near-tragedy and the Walls' veneer of middle-class respectability begins to crumble everyone in the household is forced to reassess what really matters.
Funny and poignant, Cuckoo in the Nest is inspired by Fran Hill's own experience of being fostered. A glorious coming of age story set in the summer of 1976.
