| book description |

'This story of a famous fiction TV family in 1960's America and their subsequent unravelling is as thoughtful as it is entertaining. The writing thrums with energy, and the characters feel wholly believable. Definitely a recommend from me' â€“Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things You've seen the show. Now meet the woman behind the scenes . . . From #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Jennifer Niven, a novel about Americaâ€™s favorite TV family, whose perfect faÃ§ade starts to crack, for fans of Lessons in Chemistry and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Los Angeles, 1964. For two decades, Del and Dinah Newman and their sons, Guy and Shep, have ruled television as Americaâ€™s Favourite Family. Millions of viewers tune in every week to watch them play flawless, black-and-white versions of themselves. But now the Sixties are in full swing, and the Newmansâ€™ perfection suddenly feels woefully out of touch. Ratings are in free fall, as are the Newmans themselves. Del is keeping an explosive secret from his wife, and Dinah is slowly going numb. Steady, stable Guy is hiding the truth about his love life, and rock â€˜n' roll idol Shep may finally be in real trouble. When Del is in a mysterious car accident, Dinah decides to take matters into her own hands. She hires Juliet Dunne, an outspoken young reporter, to help her write the final episode. But Dinah and Juliet have wildly different perspectives about what it means to be a woman, and a family, in 1964 America. Can Dinah Newman bring her family together to change television history? Or will she be cancelled before she ever had the chance? Maybe itâ€™s time for perfection to fall out of style . . .
