Seduction of Mrs Pendlebury by Margaret Forster
Rose Pendlebury has little in common with her Islington neighbours. But when Alice and Tony move in next door with their enchanting toddler Amy, Mrs Pendlebury begins to come out of her shell, as gradually her new neighbours undermine her traditional, cautious privacy.
She charts real people and touches her harridan with genuine pathos..nothing of hers that I have read has satisfied like The Seduction of Mrs Pendlebury * Guardian *
