What happens when a bullying mother dies? Things don‘t just get put right. There are consequences. Here siblings Helen, 52 and Edward 49 reflect on life passing them by, the subtle cruelty of their mother and make mistakes as they adjust to life without her. Reflective perceptive and perfectly written.

Nute Nice review. Stacking! 3y

Mother was not a nice woman. I have always known that, and I can say it ,because I am her daughter and so in the nature of things came nearer to loving her than anyone else ever did.

CarolynM Penelope Lively is so good. Hope to get to this one soon. 3y
