Go visit him. He says he hasn t seen you for days.' Michele is the beloved only son of a large, dysfunctional family in 1970s Italy. Headstrong and independent, he has disappeared to London without explanation. Back in Italy, his father lies dying. Michele's departure sets forth a series of events that will bring together everyone in his life - his mother Adriana, living in the countryside with her two twin daughters Bebetta and Nannetta, his long-suffering sister Angelica, his loyal and sad friend Osvaldo, and Mara, a young woman who is prone to showing up on doorsteps with a baby that may or may not be Michele's. The story of the Prodigal Son turned on its head, Happiness, As Such is a short, absurdly funny novel-in-letters about complicated families and missed connections.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50918851281115,"sku":"9781911547440-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d705b2c6-c365-41f5-b720-464a3001e93f_4dfe4489-4eba-441f-b978-01e19c744cf3.jpg?v=1792774770","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781911547440-secondhand-happiness-as-such","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
