Publisher's Synopsis
Christmas Eve, North London. The Townsend children have hung up the last strand of tinsel, and all is aglow with the mystery of Christmas. And then their mother staggers home drunk. Caroline Townsend, ex-beauty, failed actress, divorcee, has just been jilted by her lover. Will Christmas be doomed again this year? It is time for desperate measures. Wildly funny, completely original and full of insights about marriage, adolescence and the lethal defences we all use to hide behind, MOTHERTIME is worth a decade of psychotherapy - and is far more entertaining.
