Downright hilarious... Like watching a slow-motion car crash. Theroux possesses a fabulously nasty sense of humour, Stephen King. A riotously dysfunctional portrait of one all-American family and its diabolical matriarch -- by one of America's most acclaimed writers. Everyone in Cape Cod thinks that Mother is a wonderful woman: pious, hardworking, frugal. Everyone except her husband and seven children. To them, she is a selfish and petty tyrant -- endlessly comparing her many living children to the one who died in childbirth, keeping a vice-like hold on her offspring even as they try to escape into adulthood. Welcome to Mother Land: a suffocating kingdom of parental narcissism. This is an engrossing, hilarious, and heartbreaking portrait of a modern family -- the bickering, the conspiracies, and the drive to overcome the painful ties that bind. Brilliantly depicts characters in pinpoint prickly prose. Guardian. Funny and wonderfully mean-spirited. Saturday Review. The family dynamic has been rendered exceptionally well. Herald.
