She could not anticipate that the teenager who went away will return a grown man - bronzed and world-weary - a sophisticated American widow on his arm. Nor could she anticpate that her irrepressible daughter Slaney will similarly throw herself into romance (without asking her advice) and even her niece Tiddley will show an unexpected determination in getting on with her life. Faced with domestic insurrection on a grand scale, Angel will have to sharpen her wits to maintain her tyranny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe was . . . \u003cb\u003emarvellous\u003c\/b\u003e * Guardian *\u003cbr\u003eAn \u003cb\u003eeven finer achievement \u003c\/b\u003ethan her earlier mordant masterpiece\u003ci\u003e, Good Behaviour\u003c\/i\u003e * Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eI admired many authors.
