'Wonderful - rich, intelligent and moving' Los Angeles Times
'Miller depicts her characters with grace an elegance' New York Times Book Review
'Intelligent, moving ... overflowing with ideas, insights, and fine-tuned emotions' Kirkus Reviews
At the age of seventy-two, Lily became a national celebrity.
Her memoir about the breakup of her marriage garnered critical acclaim and won the hearts of millions. But her new-found fame was not well received by her son Alan and daughter Clary, both profoundly disturbed by Lily's intimate revelations about her married life.
Ten years on, their resentment is still raw, and when Lily, now ill and frail, comes to live with Alan, the bitter legacy of their very different memories threatens to upset the precarious balance of their lives ...

'Sue Miller is a brilliant writer'
