Book Description
Joan idly considers ways of murdering her odious mother, Lily, with whom she is trapped in co-dependence, while her sisters Cissie and Jessie have escaped into marriages and now have grown up children of their own to compete over. Then Lily is taken into hospital and the family rallies round to do up the old house she and Joan have lived in for over forty years. Like most families they have their own often apocryphal myths and legends, but one shocking discovery is set to destabilise the hierarchy of family lives for ever.
