Description
England in the 1950s. Jean knows of nowhere to turn when she discovers that marriage and motherhood, far from providing the mythical fairy-tale happy end, lead to isolation and tragedy.
Every bit as challenging and brave as The Women's Room, A Simple Mistake unravels the strengths and resources that all women have had to call on to survive as individuals.
Dorothy Grey, a woman in her seventies, brings a wealth of experience and sensitivity to this epic family novel.
