The hilarious family saga as a beautiful clothbound hardback, part of the Penguin Modern Australian Classics series.
From his prison cell, Jasper Dean tells the unlikely story of his scheming father Martin, his crazy Uncle Terry and how the three of them upset – mostly unintentionally – an entire continent. The whole of Australia despises Martin, just as they adore Terry. Jasper might as well set the story straight about both of them.
Incorporating death, parenting (good and bad kinds), one labyrinth, first love, a handbook for criminals, a scheme to make everyone rich and an explosive suggestion box, A Fraction of the Whole is a hilarious, heartbreaking story of families and how to survive them.
