Summary

What do men run away from? Not war, not physical hardship, but the day-to-day emotional demands of impossible domestic situations. That's women's work. This is a story of female courage, where black comedy turns to disturbing pathos revolving around the rights of an indomitable woman

Reviews

A moving story, a condemnation of the way we treat our old friends and loves, a rage against the dying of the light
Philip Howard, The Times
