Småskolelärarinnan Jane är nyinflyttad i Boyne City, Michigan, och när hon träffar Duncan blir hon snabbt förälskad. Han är charmig, gladlynt och snygg, men deras förhållande hade varit enklare om han inte hade legat med varenda kvinna inom tre mils radie. Och varför måste han fortfarande klippa gräset hos sin exfru Aggie?
När Jane precis håller på att vänja sig vid livet i den lilla staden, och vid Duncans röriga relationer, inträffar en olycka som ställer allt på ända. Och Jane måste fråga sig hur hon vill att hennes liv ska se ut. Kanske finns lyckan inom närmare räckhåll än hon tror?
En familj som vår är en roman i fin amerikansk tradition, närmast att jämföra med Stekta gröna tomater eller Anne Tylers böcker. En varm, rolig och lite vemodig roman med stort hjärta, som ställer frågan: Vad är egentligen en familj?
Katherine Heiny är författare till två romaner och en novellsamling. Hennes böcker har hyllats av såväl läsare som kritiker. Heiny bor i Washington DC med sin man och sina barn.

`Katherine Heiny's work does something magical’ Lena DunhamSimultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking, this sensational debut will appeal to fans of David Nicholls, Nick Hornby, Nora Ephron and Lorrie MooreGraham wants an orderly life but is married to the impulsive, gregarious Audra, who speaks a foreign language, full of references to people he couldn’t possibly know, and descriptions using colours like persimmon and xanthe. Jane is engaged to Duncan, a promiscuous locksmith. Duncan thinks he’ll be a fine husband for five years. Jane likes five-year-plans (she’s always felt she’d make a good communist) but is this what she wants in a marriage?Standard Deviation is a novel about relationships, families, betrayal, imperfection and ultimately acceptance. A novel brimming with sharp intelligence, laugh out loud humour, and devastating insight into the human heart. A novel you will want to give to all your friends and read over and over again.

`Katherine Heiny's work does something magical: elevates the mundane so that it has the stakes of a mystery novel, gives women's interior lives the gravity they so richly deserve – and makes you laugh along the way’ Lena DunhamIn the title story, we meet Maya, who is torn between her wryly funny boyfriend and the allure of her veterinarian. In "Andorra," a woman's lover calls her every Thursday as he drives to meet his wife at marriage counselling. "How to Give the Wrong Impression" shows us a woman pining for her roommate, a man who will hold her hand but then tell her that her palm is sweaty. In "The Dive Bar" a girl agrees to have a drink with her married lover's wife. Revisiting Maya in several stories, chronicling her various states of love, this is a collection about how we are unfaithful to each other, both wilfully and unwittingly. Populated with unwelcome house guests, disastrous birthday parties, needy but loyal friends, and flirtatious older men, the stories are emotionally astute, sexy, and disarming-and they introduce us to a tart, and marvellous, new voice.

The wonderful story collection from the author of Standard Deviation‘Heiny''s work does something magical: gives women''s interior lives the gravity they so richly deserve and makes you laugh along the way’ Lena Dunham‘Like Cheever mixed with Ephron’ New York Times‘Simply wonderful, I savoured every page’ GuardianMaya’s dog is dying, and she is planning to leave her boyfriend. On the whole she feels worse about the dog.Nina thought it might be difficult to summon the moral fortitude to have an extramarital affair with a Presbyterian minister living above the garbage, but she discovers that almost anything is possible.A teenager finds an affair with her history teacher too sealed off from the rest of her life, like the last slice of cake under a glass dome.These women are best friends, roommates and mistresses. They tipple and titillate, fantasize and fumble, worry and wander. They make poor choices in men and children’s magicians and wise choices in what to wear to meet their lovers’ wives. None of them are single (or carefree or mellow) but all are irresistible and all too familiar.

‘I have rarely seen modern marriage reproduced so faithfully in print. It’s about love once the early romance has subsided. Hilarious’ Jojo Moyes, Woman and Home‘Standard Deviation is a marvel’ Kate Atkinson‘Addictive reading’ Mail on Sunday‘A comic masterpiece’ ObserverA divinely funny novel about the challenges of a good marriage, the delight and heartache of raising children, and the irresistible temptation to wonder about the path not taken.Graham Cavanaugh’s second wife, Audra, is everything his first wife was not. She considers herself privileged to live in the age of the hair towel, talks non-stop through her epidural, labour and delivery, invites the doorman to move in and the eccentric members of their son’s Origami Club to Thanksgiving. She is charming and spontaneous and fun but life with her can be exhausting.In the midst of the day-to-day difficulties and delights of marriage and raising a child with Asperger’s, his first wife, Elspeth, reenters Graham’s life. Former spouses are hard to categorize – are they friends, enemies, old flames, or just people who know you really, really well? Graham starts to wonder: How can anyone love two such different women? Did he make the right choice? Is there a right choice?

Småskolelärarinnan Jane är nyinflyttad i Boyne City, Michigan, och när hon träffar Duncan blir hon snabbt förälskad. Han är charmig, gladlynt och snygg, men deras förhållande hade varit enklare om han inte hade legat med varenda kvinna inom tre mils radie. Och varför måste han fortfarande klippa gräset hos sin exfru Aggie?
När Jane precis håller på att vänja sig vid livet i den lilla staden, och vid Duncans röriga relationer, inträffar en olycka som ställer allt på ända. Och Jane måste fråga sig hur hon vill att hennes liv ska se ut. Kanske finns lyckan inom närmare räckhåll än hon tror?
En familj som vår är en roman i fin amerikansk tradition, närmast att jämföra med Stekta gröna tomater eller Anne Tylers böcker. En varm, rolig och lite vemodig roman med stort hjärta, som ställer frågan: Vad är egentligen en familj?
Katherine Heiny är författare till två romaner och en novellsamling. Hennes böcker har hyllats av såväl läsare som kritiker. Heiny bor i Washington DC med sin man och sina barn.
