Anne Fine takes no prisoners, she is very forthright about feelings and relationships, especially women, and that is one reason her writing is so compelling. It reaches your gut. This is a ‘Beauty and the Bitch’ story, although it is the Bitch who is beautiful but only on the outside. It’s a tale of sister rivalry, slightly predictable but in a very satisfying way. I love all her adult books, I’m sure her children’s ones are brilliant too but I’ve not read one. This comes highly recommended.
Comparison: Rachel Cusk, Maggie O’Farrell, Joanna Trollope.

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 ...?
