Review

"...Margaret Drabble has produced...a novel of such gritty modernity that it puts younger British writers to shame. It is as though, at this late stage in her game, she has shed the load of erudition that characterised her previous work to concentrate on the craft of storytelling and, in the process, examine the aimlessness of urban life."

"Without half trying, Drabble can conjure a more vivid character than most other writers can, but the book reads like a sketch for a more considered work to come....An accomplished writer's readers have relentlessly high expectations, and this novel doesn't meet them."

Publisher's note

Divorced and estranged from her grown daughters, Candida Wilton moves to a run-down flat well below her means and finds exhilaration in her self-imposed poverty, during which she confides her thoughts to a computer and makes friends with new peers.

Annotation

Candida's husband exchanges her for a younger model, and Candida starts a course of self-improvement that involves a course in THE AENEID, a health spa, and a trip to Italy. In four sections, Candida's story gets resolved, as her first grim conviction that life is over for her gives way to a more optimistic outlook. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
