Summary

Wanda has raised her daughter Scarlet to be as tough and independent as she is. When Scarlet finds herself a single parent at the age of twenty, she is frightened. Her friends are no happier: Sylvia, a born victim; respectable Jocelyn, hopelessly trapped in her dull, bourgeois existence; Audrey, who finally breaks out of her conventional life; and Helen, beautiful, vibrant, and doomed. Can these women break the straps of convention and become who they really want to be? Set in 1970s London, following the lives of a group of friends, this comic and classic novel is about identity, friendship and what happens when women turn on each other.
