This review is from: No Laughing Matter (Hardcover)
A family saga of the Matthews family. We meet the six Matthews children in London in 1912, living with their shabby-genteel, high spirited parents on the fringes of Bohemia; and we are thrown at once into the intense love-hate relationships of a highly charged family situation. Billy Pop, the father is a down-at-heels writer and his wife "Countess" a frustrated actress full of whims, great personal charm, and maddening inconsistencies. The children dream their separate dreams and play mocking games about their elder's absurd pretentions. We follow this family for fifty years thru changing history and the children's own jobs and lives.
