Happy Families
Julie MaThree generations, two secrets, one extended family . . .
Amy is thirty-four & has just given up her glittering career in the big (Welsh) city to move back in with her grandfather, returning to work in the small-town Chinese takeaway where she spent her bookish & boring childhood. Why? That's a secret she won't tell.
Just like the secret of why her grandfather, Ah Goong, & her father, TC Li, haven't spoken to each other in thirty years. Weirder still, they've lived in the same small flat about the takeaway for the majority of those years, with Amy's mother Joan acting as their unfortunate go-between & buffer.
Now Amy's parents have moved, leaving her in charge of looking after the old man. But then Ah Goong collapses in the street & Amy realises time is running out if she wants to play happy families again . . .
