Story
Single parent Louise is trying to help her fragile young daughter navigate life. So, when the nine-year-old insists on finding out who her father is, Louise organizes a sisters’ outing to track down her Italian one-night stand. Meanwhile, due to her sons’ sporting success, mother-of-four Julie is anointed Cook-Bottlewasher-and-Cheerleader-in-Chief for the rugby parents’ group. Finally, glamorous Sophie is determined that her daughter Jess won’t be boy-crazy and image-obsessed like she was. But when things go wrong at a teen party, Sophie and her sisters are forced to take drastic measures.

This was an engrossing, tense race against time hostage situation. Well told, narration a bit curt.

Interesting story, skillfully woven by Monica McInerney. I feel hopeful that there could be a follow up to this one, as her characters live on in one’s memory banks.
Feeling bittersweet, however, as I’m up to date and there are no more of Monica McInerney’s books for the moment!

Story
Grace is about to turn ninety. She doesn't want parties or presents or fuss. She just wants to heal the family rift that's been breaking her heart for decades. But to do that she must find her daughter Alys—the only person who can help to put things right. And when she finds her—if she does—she risks betraying granddaughter Elin. Who is far less forgiving of the past, with its hurts and secrets and lies. Meanwhile Grace's great-grand-daughter Beca is oblivious to all these worries, too busy navigating the highs and lows of teenage life and keeping secrets of her own.

Beautifully written, almost cinematic descriptions, unique characters. Ruth Jones draws the reader into the multifaceted story, by giving the main characters own perspectives.

Loved this book, all the ingredients for a very entertaining emotional journey. The characters are real, they are flawed. Overarching is the love of a mother for her child. Brilliant!
