'I didn't realise that for want of one person the world could be
meaningless.' Blissfully in love for the first time,
seventeen-year-old Polly thus confides to her grandmother, Muff.
And these words could equally well have been spoken by Muff, or
Polly's mother, Tessie. Muff can never forget her beloved brother
Con, killed in the First World War, and Tessie has never recovered
from the loss of her great childhood friend, Mike. Both women have
married, but their lives are unfulfilled and haunted by cherished
memories - Muff looks back longingly to her youth when she was a
great beauty and mourns the frailty of old age, and Tessie sadly
contemplates her failures: as wife, mother and woman. This
sensitive story of women and love across three generations moves in
time between the early part of the century, the Second World War
and the Seventies. An elegantly written novel, it is both funny and
sad, remarkable for its perceptive treatment of human weakness.
