"Respectable wife, unmarried mother, divorcee, femme fatale.....

These were roles which sociery demanded from women like Scarlet, Jocelyn, Helen, Susan and Audrey, roles which, 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 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."

This book was bought at a jumble sale at my local library.

Funny and sad at the same time. Destinies of women who defined themselves by their men. I hope these days are gone.
