2010 Costa Award. This novel tells the parallel stories of two woman. One is a journalist in 1950s Soho London; one is an artist in present day London. Both struggle for their independence; both are mothers. I was struck by the similarities in these two lives separated by a period of 50 years. The novel is also about memory and could be described as psychological suspense. Recommended.
