Amazing Grace Adams

A tragicomic character that middle-aged women can celebrate … It’s a tale of giddy love, thwarted ambitions, devastating loss, the dangers of 21st-century adolescence, the horrors of the menopause and how badly language can let us down … Littlewood writes with ferocity and compassion about Grace’s all-too-believable agonies and the impossibility of spinning all the plates that modern life expects us to manage.
