About this title

Review:

'All the family emotions are there - the sibling rivalry, the sadness, the mental illness, the laughter.' -- Vogue

'Delia Ephron is blessed with the driest of wits, the tenderest of hearts.' -- Armistead Maupin

'Warm, emotional and sassy - it's like catching up with a girlfriend' -- Elle

From the Back Cover:

Eve spends half of her life on the telephone, talking to her sisters, and especially to her father, who, after a life of alcoholism, manic depression, constant telephoning, and intermittent affection, is finally, to everyone’s relief, dying. Frightened of death, and a wreck about her own ageing, Eve must look to her past to find out who she really is – to the Mozell family history of three sisters who, after their mother left, had to raise not only themselves, but their father too.
