Description
Book SynopsisCassie and Rona. Rona and Cassie.
Two women on a driving holiday in Northern France.
A caustic, coruscating and deeply funny account of morality, dysfunctional relationships and women abroad, Foreign Parts is that rare hybrid: a strikingly original novel about real life, told with accuracy, compassion and a truly saturnine delight.
