Title: The Bridge between laughter and tears!
Product review: Half way through this book you won't be able to guess if you are crying out in laughter or in poignancy. Wonderfully related, the book deals with an ordinary, ageing, middle aged, insecure, bright-but-bound wife and mother. She lives in your quintessential 'small town' where all the neighbours know each other. Married to an ambitious man, her one achievement in life ( she feels) is her bright, beautiful daughter...who she hopes...will go on to achieve greater things than she ever did. Does she find happiness outside her circumscribed life? Will the daughter do what the mother could not ?A wonderful, cosy and very thought provoking tableau for the unfolding of the life of an ordinary suburban mother, wife, WOMAN...probably someone like the lady you may bump into, in the supermarket, who is buying a tan of tuna and turnips for a hungry family when all she wants to do is eat olives on the backs of camels in an exotic desert...
