More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Louisa May wants to be normal, like everyone else, but doesn't know how to go about it. Her mother, Georgette, lives in a fantasy world, fuelled by the endless romances she reads. They both live in the world of the homeless, drifting from one lodging to another. Told with sympathy and a strong sense of humour, this is a novel of the strong bonds that exist between mother and daughter, how one supports the other, and of their struggles to find a way out of the vicious circle of poverty. It is now being reissued in a smaller, mass-market paperback format.

This is one of the best paperbacks i have ever read. Bought it and nearly finished it and lost the book on a train and had to buy it again cos i wanted to know the ending!!
It tells of a Mum and small daughter going from one B n B to another and the Sad/ Happy adventures along the way/ Yes it is sad and you will need a box of tissues but it DOES have a happy ending. Buy it and find out for yourself you wont be disapointed!! trust me!

I have read this book a million times now and I am still not bored of it. I first got it from my school library and i remeber actually crying in my form room. It can be very upsetting but it is powerful and delightfully funny. Since you've already been told the plot i will not repeat it for you yet again. I would recommend this book for ANYONE. It is a great book that should be read! :-) :-)
Format:Paperback
A very good book. The characters are all very believable, and the book is well written and funny. Despite that, the theme is serious and the story is moving for readers of any age. I would recommend this book as it is a brilliant read.
