Last Things

Jenny Offill


Not as good as the blurb. It's about an 8 year old girl with an amazing mother who does things like turning a room into a cosmic calendar. This interesting stuff gets in the way of the story. Mother turns out to be a manic depressive whose ideas about bringing up a child clash with those of the father. It ends peculiarly. An engaging read. Recommended with caution
