Synopsis
The four children persist in visiting their mother at Cold Domain - much to her irritation. Indeed, when any of them crosses her, she pulls out a plant from the garden which is the emblem, for them, of their blissful childhood. Not so for mother, who has secretly sold the garden for redevelopment.

Review
"'Swooping gracefully from seriousness to farce and back again, Anne Fine succeeds in exposing a whole gamut of hidden emotions in an admirably perceptive novel'" (Good Housekeeping)
"'A streamlined, ruthlessly stripped-down psychological family romance with enough plot twists and character revelations to fuel a book three times as long. Wicked and funny. Anne Fine is brilliant'" (Time Out)
"'A glorious tirade against the grind of motherhood'" (Observer)
"'A fairytale for grown-ups...wittily observed'" (Sunday Express)
Book Description
A brilliant black comedy of family life.
