All her life, Amy Evans has struggled against that unkind gift of fate – ugliness. A squat nose stubbed like a plasticine afterthought on her face, a chin too long and eyes straining to meet each other, form a sad picture that dooms Amy to a life of solitude and lovelessness.
Now in her fifties, Amy lives alone with her crippled brother, both prisoners of the hopes and aspirations of their youth. Then Amy makes a final bid for happiness, a last ditch attempt to meet someone she can love … who might love her. Suddenly her life takes on dizzying new dimensions as she explores untrodden paths of sexual awareness in an all-or-nothing gamble for dangerous and delicious success.

A remarkable novel
Intensely dramatic...extraordinarily funny...an exceptionally original and disturbing achievement.
From the first page to the last, this powerful and moving piece of writing sustains the reader s' attention with a gripping plot, well-drawn characterisation and a surprising climax.
Perfect mastered skill ... gentle and pungent style ... compassion and humour to modulate her often steely-eyed observation
