Pop Idol's Michelle McManus says going sober made her feel 'more empowered' after using booze as form of 'escapism' Craig wears her satire lightly, even delightfully at times, as some romances wither and others bloom, while the three formidable elderly women at the novel’s centre provide a more sobering narrative on the indignities and solace of ageing.

But it is the story of Rosalind Bone, of her strength and of all that she has endured, that rises above the rest, shimmering with hope and possibility...
