This book was incredible. Dark and yet light, painful but joyful. The human condition shown through a wide lens. Delightful, darkly funny, clever, worth a read

This is a brilliantly shabby and seedy book. The London of the early 1980s when it was written is beautifully evoked. And sometimes it's nice to read about an older woman with no redeeming features whatsoever. However, the characters weren't compelling company and the book was fairly easy to put down.
