    Not the worst

    Molly Bickerstaff has been recently widowed and has decided to give living with her daughter a try. She leaves her terrace in Oldham and moves to London, where her daughter Kate, and her granddaughter Suzy have their home. Kate is an art lecturer and a divorcee of nine years' standing - trying to bring up her 16-year-old daughter.

    I found it enjoyable "fluff"
