Kate and Baba are in London, playing out the tragicomedy of their married lives to its surprisingly level-headed conclusion. Kate, feeling trapped in her grey stone house with her increasingly cold husband, tearfully looks for her dreams of romance elsewhere. And when Eugene takes terrible, implacable revenge, she naturally turns to her brazen friend Baba for help. But Baba, the bored trophy wife of builder Frank, vulgarly flashing his wealth and ignorance to the world, has her own problems without Kate drooping self-pityingly over her. And both women find unsuspected qualities in themselves as they learn to face reality.

The last book in the 'Country Girls' Trilogy, which began with 'The Country Girls' and was followed by 'Girl with Green Eyes'.

My review is jus this :superlatives. They are meaningless though, as they get used up on much lesser works. It was generous of Edna O'brien to add the epilogue, it felt just right. I found I didn't mind not being sure what ages the women were, they were real in a different way.
I hated the jolly little yelling fool Audible fool who butted in a second after the elgaic ending.
