Not Waving

Mitchell loved her body, but that was because she was an older woman. Older than what? Older than Eileen. Older than Mitchell. Older than Raymond even. How could anyone be older than Raymond? Raymond was born forty-four. His mother was younger than he was. Ginny and Raymond have two children - and they are unhappy. Eileen and Mitchell don t have any - and their relationship is a mess. Ginny Jeavons is just managing to keep afloat. An affair, not exactly of the heart, is a kind of lifeline. Her husband is also tempted into treacherous waters, where he may sink or swim... From a breast-feeding sit-in at Harrods to an apocalyptic amateur interpretation of Oklahoma, Sarah Grazebrook s observations on modern metropolitan marital manners are both poignant and bitterly funny.
