“It is a beautifully written, visual & evocative book about a group of women living in a particular place & time – affluent west London circa 2010’s. The relationships between them wax & wane & overlap with dire consequences with moments of potentially shocking suspense. Imagine varied & complicated lives then throw same sex relationships, love & children into the mix & you go some way towards understanding the lives of these vivid characters I’ve come to know & miss already.”
