Synopsis
The curiously named Isamay, a would-be academic, is trying to write a coherent thesis about grandmothers in history, while constantly ambushed by the secrets her own family has been keeping. An only child, she is named after her grandmothers, Isa and May, who were there at her birth and who have formed and influenced her in very different ways.

"A compelling story, sometimes funny, sometimes painfully sad... All family life is here, messy, insistent and, as the author convincingly shows, as essential as breathing."<br>--"Sunday Times"<br><br>"Margaret Forster has always had the enviable gift of making her characters spring to life, and both Isa and May do just that." <br>--Allan Massie, "Scotsman"<br><br>"A sensitive and intelligent novel with passages of beautifully modulated pathos, while being in part, hugely funny." <br>--"The Times"<br><br><br>"From the Hardcover edition."
