Description

In this superb novel by the beloved writer of Talk Before Sleep, The Pull of the Moon, and Until the Genuine Article Arrives, a lady re-creates her life after divorce by opening her home and her heart.Samantha's husband has left her, and after a spree of overcharging at Tiffany's, she settles down seriously to reconstruct a life for herself and her eleven-year-old boy. Her eccentric mother tries to simply help by fixing her up with dates, but a far more pressing problem is money. To generally meet her mortgage repayments, Sam decides to consume boarders. The very first is an older woman who offers sage advice and sorely-needed comfort; the 2nd, a maladjusted student, isn't quite so useful.
