Still Here
Author(s): Linda Grant
From the 2000 winner of the Orange Prize comes a powerful novel about women and sex, men and war, and miracle face creams. Alix — arrogant, angry and resigned to living alone — comes home to Liverpool and finds herself attracted to a stranger. Joseph, in the city on business, refuses to accept his alienation from his wife and the trauma of a war he once fought in. Are these survivors of the ’70s meant for each other? And what happened to the factory which once made the perfect face cream?
