This is a varied and highly useful book for the issues and triumphs women are experiencing today. There’s an introduction to feminist history as well as a ‘what to say when...’ section, which was funny but also a brilliant tool to have in your arsena ...more

Strangely compelling and hugely immersive, even though the plot is very loose. I felt utterly driven to keep reading about these characters, who are so finely and meticulously wrought that they seem brutally corporeal.
The language is clean and straig

“With Tom, the bar was so low from the offset, anything supportive he did beyond existing beside me was a reward. He could buy me a packet of Monster Munch and I’d be thrilled for a week.”
Abigail Mann, The Lonely Fajita

“You owe it to yourself to take some ownership of this relationship of yours. Because it won’t just happen. I promise you. If he made you feel … less than, that ain’t right. The more you sit with the idea that someone else has the ultimate say-so over your identity, well, it’ll get to you in the end.”
Abigail Mann, The Lonely Fajita

“If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

“But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

“What destroys us most effectively is not a malign fate but our own capacity for self-deception and for degrading our own best self.”
George Eliot
