Harriet Compton-Milne can't remember a time when she wasn't worried. Just 21, the qualified jeweller feels old before her time. She can match stones and mend a watch - but she can't leave Bolton because her brother Ben, an OCD-riddled genius, wouldn't be able to cope without her. Her eccentric parents aren't much help: her boffin father is more interested in toy trains than his family, and her mother Lisa's face is so full of botox that she can no longer express any emotion. But when big trouble arrives, the family - including Hermione, Harriet's acerbic, attic-dwelling grandmother - will have to act as a unit for the very first time if they are to survive with any degree of sanity.

Eccentricity is the family byword for the Compton-Milnes - The Compton-Milnes are eccentric, to say the least. A marriage between Gus, a reclusive but brilliant professor, and Lisa, a promiscuous cosmetic surgery addict, has produced Ben, an OCD-riddled genius, and his self-sacrificing sister Harriet, while Gus’s acerbic invalid mother rules over them all from her attic throne room. But when Lisa’s lover turns on her, the family must pull together to survive . . .
