Review:
Delphinium Blues is a Bridget-Jones-all-grown-up-and-on-the-edge kind of novel, seething with all the insecurities and vacillations that one would expect from the story of a woman whose husband has dumped her for a leggy 29 year-old, leaving her with a house full of pets, kids and bills to contend with.
Review:
Very middle-class, very Middle England, but less aga-saga than docu-soap, Stevie Morgan takes the bull by the proverbial horns and treats us all to a no-holds-barred perspective of Jess, a middle-aged woman (40? Middle-aged?) on the threshold of potentially great things, but having to wade through a huge pile of pooh before she can even think of the future.
An ode to the power of friendship, the power of forgiveness and ultimately the power of a woman in purple stilettos, Delphinium Blues is an easy to read, cheer-along novel about survival, and anyone--middle-aged or otherwise--who has ever suffered at the hands of a man on an ego trip will weep, wail and yippee along with Jess as she gets to grips with it all.
Read it and weep. And keep a sharp eye open for 29 year-olds with long legs. --Susan Harrison
