Sophie's mother knows exactly how to needle her. Sophie's lover Philip knows how to stab her in the heart. She may be clever, charming, and smart, but is Sophie destined to be an eternal bit-part?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter a particular agonising throwaway remark from Philip, Sophie knows she must break away – from her mother, from Philip, from the snobbery of her well-to-do Hampstead Heath upbringing. Being good and agreeable has brought nothing but loneliness, now setting out alone might finally bring freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA bubbly, empathetic, and ultimately lovely novel of a belated coming-of-age.
