'Peter, Peter, Pumpkin eater Had a wife and couldn't keep her...'
In this extraordinary, semi-autobiographical novel, Penelope
Mortimer depicts a married woman's breakdown in 1960s London. With
three husbands in her past, one in her present and a numberless
army of children, Mrs Armitage is astonished to find herself
collapsing one day in Harrods. Strange, unsettling and shot through
with black comedy, this is a moving account of one woman's
realisation that marriage and family life may not, after all, offer
all the answers to the problems of living.
