Publisher Description
‘A witty and intelligent tale about the terrifying, seductive lie of stability – emotional, physical, financial, sexual’ Mail on Sunday

Dorothy is released like a loose cannon into the lives of her three daughters and chaos ensues. More relationships break up, passions run high and dramatic developments ensue that will change the Hammond family forever.
Customer Reviews
Great story - realistic relationships
This is a great story. Deborah Moggach captures the moods, emotions and decisions of these people with wonderful sensitivity, via a very human, believable story. The authenticity of the environment and drama brings the reader into the lives of the characters. The good thing is there's not always a happy ending either.
