Book summary

Set against what Drabble sees as the spiritual wasteland of British life in the mid-1970s, this is the story of a television producer fighting off ennui who goes into real estate speculation and faces financial ruin. His long-time lover Alison, after a life of devotion to her cerebral palsy-afflicted daughter, finds she no longer has a role. The story is presented in first-person narratives alternating with vignettes of everyday life of the period.
