That was Then
There comes a moment in every parent’s life when she realises that she can no longer take responsibility for her children’s actions: they’re grown up and must shoulder the consequences.
In this book, divorced Eve, the devoted mother of a straying son, is forced to confront this moment in the most dismaying way – but soon learns that if she’s going to live her own life to the full, she can’t live her son’s for him.
Another aspect of family life – even parents have their rites of passage.
