Book description
The day that Benny Catchprice was fired from the spare parts
department of Catchprice Motors by his aunt Cathy was also the day
that the Tax Inspector, Maria Takis, arrived to begin her long-overdue
audit of the family business. But this is no ordinary investigation.
Maria is eight months' pregnant, Granny Catchprice is at war with her
offspring, and Benny, her grandson, wants to become an angel . . .
Peter Carey received the Booker Prize for Oscar and Lucinda and again
for True History of the Kelly Gang. His other honors include the
Commonwealth Prize and the Miles Franklin Award. Born in Australia, he
has lived in New York City for 20 years.
