Description
Clementine Hope, thirty-something and newly divorced, lives in a small Hampshire town, teaching music and working on a collection of fairy tales left to her by her Great Aunt Elvira. But mostly she worries. She worries about the rising crime rate. She worries about disease and illness, about offending God and, in the rare moments when she is at peace with Him, about upsetting the man in the carpet shop. When her sister Ophelia asks her if there’s anything she’s not frightened of, Clementine has to think for a while before replying, ‘Doris Day’.
