Beautiful
However outlandish the story line is likely to be I enjoyed imagining the guts of such a woman refusing to tow the PC line. Admittedly I like her because although 64 soon and a Northerner I see myself in her!
Love conquers all.
I really enjoyed the book, poignant moments and funny too.
Poppy Day you're beautiful
