Love & Fallout - Tapa blanda

Críticas

Engrossing and engaging. This is a funny and acutely observed book about an often overlooked moment in history. The expectations women have of themselves and each other are exposed in Simmonds wry story of friendship and loss.
Catherine O Flynn, author of What Was Lost and Mr Lynch s Holiday

A fantastic debut, captivating, funny, brilliantly observed and a great read.
Bookgroup.info

There s a real sense of authenticity as the formative experiences of youth shape family and relationships. Great character observations; sometimes excruciating, often heartbreakingly sad, frequently funny.
Which Book

Love, sisterhood, guilt and grief Simmonds understands them all. I read it in a single sitting.

A tale of love and loss...engrossing and compelling. The Lady Magazine

This novel transported me and I have vowed to buy a number of copies of Love and Fallout to send to old associates to see if it works its restorative magic and reacquaints me with lost friends too.

Reseña del editor

When Tessa’s best friend organizes a surprise TV makeover, Tessa is horrified. It’s the last thing she needs—her business is on the brink of collapse, her marriage is under strain, and her daughter is more interested in beauty pageants than student politics. What’s more, the “Greenham Common angle” the TV producers have devised reopens some personal history Tessa tried to store away. Then Angela gets in touch, Tessa’s least favorite member of the Greenham gang, and she’s drawn back into her muddy past. Moving between the present and 1982, and set against the mass protests which touched thousands of women’s lives, Love and Fallout is a book about friendship, motherhood, and the accidents that make us who we are.
