"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
So, when her mum calls to say she's putting granny Liza Sharp into a home, Nicole--recovering slowly from a Bolly and cocaine-fuelled girls-night-in-leaps onto the first Bristol-bound train to rescue Liza from this fate worse than death and brings granny to live in her ultra-90s Docklands loft.
It's hard for Liza--who has "a beard, three fine warts from which mustard and cress appear to be sprouting and smells like a dish-washing machine that has been left to bear its steaming bounty for a good three weeks of along hot summer" and who used to help her grandchildren play truant and encourage them to shoplift humbugs for her--to adjust to London life. But, paradoxically, it's easier for her than it is for Nicole, who, having successfully metamorphosed into an arty middle-class hedonist, is feeling almost as comfortable and at-home as Gregor Samsa did after turning into a giant beetle in The Metamorphosis. Almost.
Although the plot is pretty thin, there are some terrific fight scenes, plenty of top-notch sulking and lots of Burchill's characteristically idiosyncratic and surprisingly thought-provoking observations. --Lisa Gee
