Right from the off, we know that Eve is in prison for killing her daughter's fiance on her wedding day. Eve is married to Adam in the town of Edenford, all of a sudden, she realises she is not satisfied with being Mrs. Adam X or Shirley's mother. Somewhere along the way she has lost herself and the arrival of her now famous childhood friend helps her to reevaluate her life, starting with buying some comfy trainers. As with Toksvig's other book, this is very funny at times, she is almost too good an observer of everyday British life. The book also deals with other issues, such as sexuality, religion, women's lib. The book draws you closer as the plot darkens, and I was sorry to see it end, though glad for the resolution and answers. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Inge Holbrook has lived the high life ever since she left her sleepy Home Counties home town of Edenford. Still fantastically fit at forty-plus, she has gone from Olympic gold medallist to becoming one of the 'faces' of the BBC. Blonde (since '87), tanned (since Christmas in the Caribbean) long legs (since for ever), she has an aura of success that never fails to be attractive. Eve Marshall hasn't. Catching her reflection in a tinfoil turkey display at her local supermarket, she sees someone old and fat, someone who looks like somebody's mother. Unlike her schoolfriend Inge, Eve never left suburbia. Her contribution to the world wasn't to write or invent or win anything, but her two children, Tom and Shirley. Inge and Eve are part of the same generation, grew up in the same town, went to the same school together. But adult life has left them with nothing in common apart from their past -- until the summer when their lives become entwined again, when one becomes a killer, and the other approves . . .
