Vicious Circle

Louisa May wants to be normal, like everyone else, but doesn't know how to go about it. Her mother, Georgette, lives in a fantasy world, fuelled by the endless romances she reads. They both live in the world of the homeless, drifting from one lodging to another. Told with sympathy and a strong sense of humour, this is a novel of the strong bonds that exist between mother and daughter, how one supports the other, and of their struggles to find a way out of the vicious circle of poverty. It is now being reissued in a smaller, mass-market paperback format.
