A collection of novellas, each of which features a formidable woman. In "Light My Fire" a snobbish man is undone by a new young wife, and an ancient Aga; in "Walking with Angels" a housewife's mundane life is illuminated by the arrival of Ariel, an angel; and in "Garden Guerillas" a widow takes an horticultural revenge on her daughter-in-law.
A collection of four novellas, it was unashamedly erudite, marvellously witty and just a little bit cruel. It revived a neglected form quite brilliantly. Now, after four acclaimed novels, she returns with another sparkling novella collection.
