'Delightful... Her characters are, as always, wonderfully
imperfect' New York Review of Books Alan has changed because he's
injured his back. Pain has altered his appearance and made him
glum, demanding and resentful. His wife Jane has to do everything
for him - fetching, carrying, shopping, cooking, even dressing and
undressing him. Sometimes she longs for escape. Delia is a writer
and researcher specialising in fairy tales - she is, in her own
estimation, a 'Great Artist'. Her husband, Henry, manages her every
need making certain Delia gets everything she desires including
spectacular doses of adulation. Can Delia coax Alan out of his
grumpiness? Can Henry stop Jane feeling guilty? Can the two couples
break out of their fixed roles? 'I am re-reading with enormous
delight and greed. If you're new to [Lurie], lucky you:
marvellously astute comedies of social, moral and sexual manners,
her witty exuberance is nothing short of inspirational' Helen
Simpson
