'A truly sublime novel' HANNAH BEER
'Delivers heartache, euphoria and the unfathomable puzzle of family' SIERRA GREER
It’s the 1990s.Susan Bliss is trying to make it all work. In L.A., she’s a burgeoning star with big hair and tight jeans, smouldering on the nation’s favourite TV drama. But in quiet New England, she’s wife to a history professor and raising two young twins, trying to keep the family on track. What she doesn't know is that there isn't enough time to do it all.
It’s the 2000s.Viola and Sebastian can barely remember the woman who raised them, and their father has told them little of her fame.
But the past can’t stay hidden forever, and as the teenaged twins pursue the secrets Susan left behind, they spin off in different directions. Sebastian plunges down an investigative rabbit hole. And Viola falls for the movie star Orson Grey, who was once her mother's co-star.
A novel about obsession and ambition, about love and the myths we create for each other.
Everyone has their family secrets, but what happens when you aren't there to tell your story?

(P)2026 Simon & Schuster AudioResumo da Crítica
'Family Drama is a magnificent debut. It has everything I love – gorgeous writing, complicated love affairs, a gripping storyline and so many pitch-perfect observations, I often had to read a sentence twice' Clare Leslie Hall, author of Broken Country
'Sweeping and intimate, Family Drama is a bruisingly gorgeous debut' Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies
‘Sweeping and precise, Fallon’s Family Drama delivers heartache, euphoria, and the unfathomable puzzle of family with singular brilliance. I devoured every word’ Sierra Greer, author of Annie Bot
'A truly sublime novel about families, fame, ambition, and all the things they inspire – love, rage, grief, joy. I could’ve read on and on about the Blisses, and can’t wait for whatever Rebecca Fallon writes next' Hannah Beer, author of I Make My Own Fun
'I was transported by this magical novel and its characters – full of their big, messy dreams and the pain of sacrifice and lost love. Rebecca Fallon has written a sharp, intelligent and very moving novel that evokes brilliantly that sweet spot when the internet – the ways we connect to each other, the ways we remember – might have become something other than what it now is. The book brims with life and powerful emotional truths: about family, about the ruptures and the tears that appear irreparable, and the shared histories that pull us back together. I loved it' Rosie Price, author of What Red Was
'Assured in her craftsmanship, radiant in her compassionate characterizations, Fallon invites comparisons to Ann Patchett, Ann Napolitano, and Anne Tyler' Booklist (starred)
'In the end, like the soap opera Susan stars in, this drama allows readers to dissolve; feel your own problems grow trivial against the melodrama, against the height of what a human can feel. The author’s emotional intelligence shines through in this affecting novel’s quirky, evolving characters' Kirkus
