Items related to A Free Woman
Sarah Penn and Maggie Reave are sisters, who are very different. Sarah has married kind, reliable Leo and settled contentedly into small-town life. Maggie, light-hearted and footloose, has spent fifteen years drifting round the world with a backpack. Now Maggie has come home, to a dank, dull British winter. Just for a few months, she says, while she learns Chinese for the next expedition. The Penn children are delighted: the boys revel in her tales of pamperos and pythons, and anxious fifteen-year-old Samantha is only too glad to have someone to help her with a pregnancy test. Even Leo, struggling with a precarious family bookshop, finds a use for his wayward sister-in-law. Fate, however, has an unexpected adventure in store; it rocks the whole family, bringing up dark shadows from their common past, and confronts Maggie with the hardest decision of her life.

Review:
"Passing Go: 'Libby Purves has excelled herself with this portrait of a dysfunctional clan, which is as full of sharp observations, insight and humour as her readers will have come to expect' Christina Koning, Times; 'A whirlwind of contemporary social issues...an extreme and entertaining picture of modern urban life. How Libby Purves manages to weave all this into a comedy, I don't know. But she does.' Philippa Boston, Daily Mail; 'An author who tackles difficult contemporary issues with insight and compassion. Expect the unexpected in Passing Go, a tale for our times.' West Lancashire Evening Gazette; Regatta: 'Libby Purves has created a complex and appealing character in a novel which develops to an exciting conclusion' Vanessa Berridge, Woman & Home
