The Give And Take

By Tony McNamara

Summary

Don is an executive. His mind should be on his firm’s latest line of garden sprinklers. But his wife has just told him she’s leaving to have tantric sex in Tuscany.

When he tells his three children, they aren’t surprised; they are a self-absorbed trio only interested in Dad’s money.

When Dad quits his job, starts wreaking havoc with their private lives and tries to salvage his family...what will three selfish twenty-somethings do then?

The Give and Take sends up a generation that is both idealistic and ruthlessly pragmatic, with a wry eye turned on their wayward parents.
