Review: Gripping and honest, this novel expertly explores many of the anxieties experienced by forty something women. Writer, wife, daughter, mother, Jean is all of these, and the challenges these roles present are beautifully and sharply observed. Fonseca has a true eye for detail and sense of place. Her descriptions of a mammogram and a visit to the gynaecologist are both painfully accurate and very funny.

Isabel Fonseca, Lady Amis (born 1961) is an American writer. She is best known for her books Bury Me Standing: The Gypsies and Their Journey and Attachment. She was married to novelist Sir Martin Amis until his death in May 2023.
