According to Yes

Dawn French, number one bestselling author of A Tiny Bit Marvellous and Oh Dear Silvia, returns with her joyously funny new novel, According To Yes. The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy - otherwise known as Manhattans Upper East Side - has its own rigid code of behaviour. Its a code strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family, who live well-displayed, well-edited lives. Thomas Wilder-Bingham is a partner in a prestigious law firm. At least - thats who he is to Glenn, his icy, domineering wife. At least - thats who Glenn is to Kemble, her weak and dissolute son. At least - thats who Kemble is to Natalie, the unhappy mother of his three children. At least- thats who Natalie is to Teddy, her protective teenage son. So when an unconventional thirty-eight-year-old primary school teacher from England bounces into their inflexible lives with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises she hasnt read the rule book. And for the Wilder-Bingham family, whose lives begin to unravel thread by thread, the consequences are explosive . . .
