'Newly installed as live-in caretaker of four Oxford Street flats, Martha Brazil can scarcely believe her luck. After years of stuffy bedsits and seedy suburban flatshares, the future seems electric with the promise of renovation and repair. Cruising her local department store by day, and thrilling to the sounds of revelry that float through her window at night, it strikes her that surely an independant young person with flair and a surplas of willpower ought to shine in such a setting. But when out of the blue a copy of her Father's latest novel falls into her hands, it offers Martha a view of her world and of her wayward family, that she can only ignore at her peril.'

Had a good wander round all the second hand shops in Nottingham today and found this book in the Cancer Research shop - looks an easy read!

On one hand you have this good plot line of a mixed up single girl who has divorced parents and a junkie brother, who moves to be a caretaker of a block of flats, obsessed with cleaning them to block her indescretions in life. Somehow this all leads to a rather confusing two thirds of the book, where you can't seem to follow whats happening until finally towards the end, everything comes together and I suddenley went 'ah' and understood where the author was coming from. Just think it's one of those books that you probably have to read more than once to understand!
