A blast from the past...beautifully told Maureen Lipman This is a five star read one to take to bed at night and enjoy until the small hours... Kathryn Simmonds writing is a delight
Mavis Cheek
This is a really good read and a reminder of Greenham Common at a time when the world is again risking nuclear confrontation. It s also the story of waning love and the challenge of maturity.
Clare Short
When Tessa s best friend organises a surprise TV makeover, Tessa is horrified. It s the last thing she needs her business is on the brink of collapse, her marriage is under strain and her daughter is more interested in beauty pageants than student politics. What s more, the Greenham Common angle the TV producers have devised reopens some personal history Tessa has tried to hide away. Then Angela gets in touch, Tessa s least favourite member of the Greenham gang, and she s drawn back into her muddy past.
Moving between the present and 1982, and set against the mass protests which touched thousands of women s lives, Love and Fallout is a book about friendship, motherhood and the accidents that make us who we are. A hugely entertaining novel from debut novelist and award-winning poet Kathryn Simmonds.
