The
(not that Bad at all, in fact brilliant) Reviews:
‘It might not sound like
the average Mother’s Day gift, but Kate
Long’s funny and moving novel will have mums and daughters laughing in
recognition. It’s
the story of three generations of women struggling to do their best: single mother
Karen, exhausted but with enough optimism intact to be looking for Mr Right;
her teenage daughter Charlotte, shocked by the life-changing results of her
first brush with
romance; and Nan, increasingly enfeebled but still sharp enough to understand
the turmoil unfolding around her. It’s not quite happy families, but all
the more believable for it.’
