from Helen Kitson and Louise Walters Books:
Old Bones!
“So much of life is about pretending to
be something other than what one is:
prettier, cleverer, less ordinary.”
From the cover of the book:
her teaching job at an all girls’ school following a shocking outburst in the classroom after enduring
years of torment. Antonia enjoys her “nice” magazines, Diana is a regular at the local library, and
they treat themselves to coffee and cake once a week in the village café.
Naomi lives alone, haunted by the failure of her two marriages. She works in the library, doesn’t
get on with her younger colleagues, and rarely cooks herself a proper meal. Secretly she longs for
a Boden frock.
When a body is discovered in the local quarry, all three women’s lives are turned upside down.
And when Diana’s old flame Gill turns up unexpectedly, tensions finally spill over and threaten to
destroy the outwardly peaceful lives all three women have carefully constructed around
themselves.
Helen takes us back to the fictional Shropshire village of Morevale in this, her brilliant second novel
which exposes the fragilities and strengths of three remarkably unremarkable elderly women.
