Summary

‘Anyone who loved the great Maeve Binchy will adore this gorgeous gem of a book’ – Claudia Carroll

The gripping new novel from Irish Times bestseller Carmel Harrington, shortlisted for Newcomer of the Year at the BGE Irish Book Awards.

Every family has a story…

Meet the Guinness family…

But for the Guinness family a happy ending looks out of reach. Olly and Mae's marriage is crumbling, their teenage daughter Evie is on a mission to self-destruct and their beloved Pops is dying of cancer. Their once strong family unit is slowly falling apart.

But Pops has one final gift to offer his beloved family – a ray of hope to cling to. As his life's journey draws to a close, he sends his family on an adventure across Europe in a camper van, guided by his letters, his wisdom and his love.

Because Pops knows that all his family need is time to be together, to find their love for each other and to find their way back home…

Amazing story of life and relationships with the Guiness'. In some ways this describes a dysfunctional family that finds meaning/purpose in the middle of an arranged holiday. Discovering who they are and who they want to become. This book is moving and has made me want to retire early and volunteer in an orphanage.

You can see clearly now when you understand family is everything
