I'm sure I read this years ago, but I can't remember what on earth it was about. Time to clean it off my shelves and pass it on...
From the back of the book (all typos mine):
Respectable wife,
unmarried mother, divorcee,
femme fatale...
These were roles that society demanded from women like Scarlet, Jocelyn, Helen, Susan and Audrey, roles that, if they were truthful, they assigned to themselves - most of the time.
But things have a way of not slotting neatly into pigeon holes, and, as they negotiate around the births, deaths, dramas and disappointments that little their lives, they discover slowly and surely their real selves.
