Publisher's Summary
From the double Man Booker Prize-winner, a savagely funny tale that revisits the characters from the much-loved Every Day is Mother’s Day.
Muriel Axon is about to re-enter the lives of Colin Sidney and Isabel Field. It is 10 years since her last tangle with them, but for Muriel this is not time enough. There are still scores to be settled, truths to be faced and vengeance to be wreaked.
Critic Reviews
"Hilary Mantel's wit is wonderful and startlingly nasty" ( Sunday Times)

Fantastically macabre
This isn’t black comedy; it’s the unsettling silliness of deeply dark human experiences. Mandel somehow taps into what soulless human existence really looks and feels like, and it’s uncomfortable, with moments of levity. Completely unique.

Not that funny, really
It was a fairly well told story and I got an occasional giggle, but I was left feeling sad and disconcerted at the end. Would not describe it as black humour. Nothing funny about the situation, particularly at the end. I'm still tossing up whether I liked it or I hated it ...
