London England, Headline, 1996. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Fine/Very Good/fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 074721705X Hardback Mary Marsh isn't quite sure how she's reached the age of forty-eight - it seems like only yesterday that she was a shy teenager slipping nervously past her father's students in the hall, moments ago that she was a besotted mother doting on her toddler son, David. But now her father is old and getting more acerbic and cycnical by the year. David's grown into a stranger, networking on the gof course and newly engaged to the eminently sensible Alison. And Mary's husband John, who has through years of putdowns made her into just the wife he wants, is deep in mid-life crisis, pretending each morning to leave for the office, when Mary knows perfectly well he lost his job months ago. Is this all life has to offer her?.
