... marvellous skill - a writer who can knock spots off most of her
contemporaries. - The Guardian A tragi-comedy published in 1971
that looks at the experience of a woman escaping a broken marriage
and trying to make a new home for grown-up children who no longer
need her. Dealing with themes of abandonment, loneliness,
liberation and love, Eleanor's emotional journey is often raw and
dark, but at times funny and uplifting as she grapples with her
newfound singledom under the critical eyes of her mother and
mother-in-law, and the selfish attitudes of various suitors.
Perfectly capturing the tone of the 70s, and the reality faced by
so many women when forced to re-assess their roles as wife and
mother.
