'So moving it will make you want to gasp or cry’ Sunday Times
‘Glorious, fearless… possibly her very best’ Observer
'Pandora is a masterly creation' New York Times
Pandora has looked up to her older brother Edison since they were children. Now she revels in the anonymity of her suburban Iowa life, while her brother basks in the limelight as a New York jazz musician. But when Edison arrives in Iowa, suddenly in need of a place to stay, Pandora literally doesn't recognize him. The once slim, hip pianist has gained hundreds of pounds. What happened?
With Shriver's distinctive wit and ferocious energy, Big Brother asks: just how much should you sacrifice for someone who refuses to be saved?

‘The latest compelling, humane and bleakly comic novel from the author of We Need to Talk about Kevin’ Evening Standard
