The blurb:
These were roles which society demanded from women like Scarlet, Jocelyn, Helen, Susan and Audrey, roles which, if they were truthful, they assigned to themselves — most of the tile.
But things have a way of not slotting neatly into pigeon-holes, and, as they negotiate around the births, deaths, dramas and disappointmens which litter their lives, they discover slowly and surely their real selves.
Sharp, witty, icily acute, Down Among the Women is the work of a devastatingly funny novelist.
'Excellent' — Rachel Billington
