Flying Under Bridges by Sandi Toksvig

Flying Under Bridges by Sandi Toksvig

Inge Holbrook has lived the highlife ever since she left her sleepy Home Counties hometown of Edenford. Still fantastically fit at forty-plus, she has gone from Olympic gold medallist to becoming one of the 'faces' of the BBC. Blonde (since '87), tanned (since Christmas in the Caribbean) long legs (since for ever), she has an aura of success that never fails to be attractive. Eve Marshall hasn't. Catching her reflection in a tinfoil turkey display at her local supermarket, she sees someone old and fat, someone who looks like somebody's mother. Unlike her school friend Inge, Eve never left suburbia. Her contribution to the world wasn't to write or invent or win anything, but her two children, Tom and Shirley. Inge and Eve are part of the same generation, grew up in the same town, went to the same school together. But adult life has left them with nothing in common apart from their past - until the summer when their lives become entwined again, when one becomes a killer, and the other approves ...

full of moments of farce and humorous apercu* THE TIMES *
quirky social comedy stuffed with smart one-liners. * WOMAN AND HOME *
good timing and an instinctive ability to intrigue. * ATTITUDE *
The middle-English middle class is perfectly pin pointed...very funnny. * TIME OUT *
