Publisher Description

Thirty-four-year-old Sophia, a film editor living in Soho, has (she thinks) only one living relation, her Connecticut-based grandmother Felicity. Sophia is torn between her delight in her freedom and a desire for the family ties which everyone else grumbles about. Her current bedmate seems to be in love with a glamorous film star; her mad mother is dead. All she has is Felicity. But Felicity is not your average granny. Temperamental, sophisticated, chic, she has seen much of life and is prepared to see more. Even if it is from a twilight home. As the two women's stories unravel, the past rears up with all its grimness and irony, but points the way to a future which may redeem them both.

"Very different from what I usually pick out, but I got it for 50 cents at the library, and I got more than my money's worth. Made me realize how plot-driven most of my picks are ... not that this didn't have a plot, but it was slow, and there was a lot of reflection."

    " I forgot how much I enjoy Fay Weldon's humor. This one, following the later life of a British-born widow, finds her living under more supervision than she'd like in a Rhode Island nursing home. But the powers that be are no match for Felicity. "

    " This is a great read. Weldon's sense of humor is very dry and her narrative always unpredictable "

    " What fun - imagine being in your 80's and finding love and life so available. A very enjoyable read from Fay Weldon. "

    " Mostly boring, even Fay Weldon's superb writing style didn't make this book any better. The plot moved too slow, and it didn't keep my interest for very long. Very disappointing. "

    " Not good! Started out okay, but got so slow and boring in the middle I gave up. I couldn't read more then a couple of pages without losing interest. It seems like there is chapter upon chapter of an old lady contemplating sex, how much of that can anyone find interesting? "

    " Wonderful book. Loved the characters and the setting - and the premise was really original. These were people you could meet; some had led remarkable lives, others very ordinary ones but all were interestingly portrayed. "

    " I like Fay Weldon's style of writing. She makes the characters really interesting especially Felicity and her family and friends. There are references to familiar places in Connecticut (Foxwoods Casino) and Rhode Island. It's a fun read. "
