Meet the Newmans

From No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author Jennifer Niven comes a captivating novel about America's beloved television family, whose seemingly perfect facade begins to crumble. Set in Los Angeles in 1964, 'Meet the Newmans' explores the complexities behind the spotlight and the truth that lies beneath the surface.

For twenty years, the Newman family has been a fixture on television as America's Favourite Family. However, as the vibrant sixties take hold, their flawless, black-and-white portrayal starts to feel outdated. With ratings declining and the family members facing their own personal crises, the pressure mounts. Del Newman harbors a secret, Dinah feels increasingly detached, steady Guy conceals details about his love life, and rock 'n' roll star Shep finds himself in serious trouble.

Following Del's mysterious car accident, Dinah takes charge, enlisting the help of Juliet Dunne, a bold young reporter, to craft the final episode. Their collaboration highlights the starkly different views on womanhood and family in 1964 America. This novel delves into whether Dinah can reunite her family and make television history, or if their story will be cut short.
