  Lulu has always been intolerable. From spending every childhood moment worming her way into the affections of her stepmother (spitefully undermining poor Geraldine, her dumpy and hardworking stepsister, along the way) to growing into a sexy, long-legged and ruthless adult. Jobs, lovers, fashionable clothes: Lulu picks them up at whim and drops them with equal ease, confident that Geraldine and her faithfully supportive husband, Robert, will bail her out of every passing problem. But not even watchful Robert has realized quite how much Geraldine's exemplary patience has rested on one simple but long-lasting assumption about her own family. Could everything finally be about to change ...?

  Lulu's intolerable. From the outset she wormed her way into the affections of her stepmother and spent every childhood moment trying to undermine poor Geraldine, her dumpy and hardworking stepsister. Now she's an adult: sexy, long-legged - and ruthless. Jobs, lovers, fashionable clothes: Lulu picks any and all up at whim and drops them with equal ease, all the while confident that Geraldine and her faithfully supportive husband, Robert, will bail her out of every passing problem. But not even watchful Robert has realized quite how much Geraldine's exemplary patience has rested on one simple but long-lasting assumption about her own family. Could everything finally be about to change ...? In this, her eighth novel, Anne Fine once again displays her extraordinary facility to unpick the tangled threads of family relationships and, to our astonishment and for our deep amusement, lay them bare.
