Everything changes for the four Mellow children the day they find a book called Pleasuring on the shelf.

It is written by their liberal parents, features tasteful pastel illustrations of their lovemaking, and has become a runaway bestseller. Thirty years later the book is set to be reissued but the lives of the Mellow family are no longer the same: their children grapple with complicated 21st century problems and the iconic couple's perfect marriage has not run as smoothly as everyone has assumed...

'Funny, wise and full of the richness and sadness of family life' - The Times By the acclaimed author of The Wife - as hilarious and uncomfortable as the eponymous position, a sharp, funny, unexpected and compellingly readable novel about the effects of the sexual revolution (and a Joy of Sex type book) on one family.
