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.
