This excellent first novel...is a rounded portrait of modern family life where light-hearted affection and friendship contrasts with the darker strands of human nature
A delight from start to finish
A must for women fiction readers
Praise for Marcia Willett's previous novels: 'A fascinating study of character...a cleverly woven story
Poignantly told, with fine characterisation and a lavish sprinkling of humour
