London England, The Womens Press, 1987. Reprint, Binding: Softcover, Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾ tall 0704338955 Paperback This book is an extraordinary tour de force, in which Joan Barfoot, author of the prize-winning novel Gaining Ground, enters the consiousness of Edna Cormick, perfect wife, secret dreamer and murderer. For 20 years Edna worked hard, striving day after day to keep herself, house and husband in sparkling condition, each reflecting the perfection of their marriage. Determined to give her best, Edna allowed herself only one lapse from duty, a few minutes of a dream. Some afternoons, when the day's cleaning was over, she would put on a favourite record, lie down in her perfect living room, close her eyes and for half an hour dance, dance and sing..Was it perhaps this one weakness that proved to be the fatal flaw? Taut, ironic, finely felt and written. Crease to corner back cover. .

Helpless, unwieldy, incontinent, her body is slipping out of control, and she can only remember the heady independence of those years after the death of her husband. Now she is dependent on her ageing daughter June, a woman who can neither accept nor offer love. Her consolation is the passionate love she feels for her granddaughter Frances, the free spirit that she once was, and whose dreams and desires, this time, will perhaps not be destroyed by the forces of circumstances and convention. In this her third novel, Joan Barfoot examines minutely the lives of three generations of women, and through them questions the nature of love. She shows that love will not grow to order, but that sometimes it flowers in unexpected places. MULTIPLE COPIES MAYBE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST. .
