Story
Sylvia, a brilliant and successful eye surgeon is nevertheless amazed to find herself pregnant, despite taking no precautions. Iris is a timid young woman in love with a man from a different social stratum. And Ruby, a 1950s housewife, receives poison-pen letters, which she believes she thoroughly deserves. Linking these women is a fascinating thread that weaves their lives together in this powerful novel about love and the lack of it; about loss, mothering, sight and insight.

Hard for me to follow
Although this was hard for me to follow, I am not suggesting that another person wouldn't like it. I like my stories to flow, not keep moving backwards and forward to various characters. I've not bothered to finish it.
