About

Two women looking back over fifty years: one full of regret, the other not admitting to mistakes and continuing to be fiercely positive. Which approach, in the end, is likely to prove more satisfying-both for Daisy herself and for those who live around her?

Reviews

"This book is remarkably convincing . . . One's first reaction on finishing the novel is 'Goodness, how sad!' One's second is 'Goodness, how funny!'"
Francis King, The Spectator
"Benatar writes with wit and humour about subjects most writers do not tackle."
Francis King, The Spectator
"Particularly welcome . . . Funny, outrageous and unpatronizing . . . a cunning, convincing novel that, dealing primarily with the past, manages to be more up-to-date in its observations than the majority of contemporary satires."
The Scotsman
