"In flashback and from the depths of her basement apartment in Earls Court, Esther describes the history of her marital disaster—in between her consumption of chocolate cake, tinned fruit, sweet sherry, and a host of other high calorie confections. Funny, bizarre, and painful in equal doses, this novel, like her other works Down Among the Women and Female Friends, examines the role of womanhood. The time is the mid 1960s when sex role st ..."

It's 2013 and eighty-year-old Frances is listening to the debt collectors pounding on the front door of Number 3, Chalcot Crescent. While she ..."

He smells of oilpaint and canvas, encrusted palettes and turpentine, cigarettes and McDonalds, where he eats Chicken McNuggets with the sweetandsour dip, and of chlorine from the swimming pool, and there is some slight remembered flavour of Carmicha ..."
