Dr Louise Case seems to have a perfect life - academic career, country cottage and a commitment-free relationship. Then Rose appears. The old lady disrupts everything, from campus to cottage, and Louise finds herself in an unthinkably traditional role. "A wickedly witty tale of modern manners, happily suggesting that PC is not the only way to be", or so the publisher says... From the author of A Respectable Trade, Mrs Hartley and the Growth Centre and The Little House, which is published in hardback this month.
