Description

Peter, Peter, Pumpkin eater br>Had a wife and couldn''t keep her...''br>br>In this extraordinary, semi-autobiographical novel, Penelope Mortimer depicts a married woman''s breakdown in 1960s London. With three husbands in her past, one in her present and a numberless army of children, Mrs Armitage is astonished to find herself collapsing one day in Harrods. Strange, unsettling and shot through with black comedy, this is a moving account of one woman''s realisation that marriage and family life may not, after all, offer all the answers to the problems of living.>
