Drabble, Margaret (, 1939-)
The seven sisters / Margaret Drabble - New York : A Harvest Book , 2002 - 306 p. ; 21 cm
Candida Wilton - a woman recently betrayed, rejected, divorced, and alienated from her three grown daughters - moves from a beautiful Georgian house in lovely Suffolk to a two-room walk-up flat in a run-down building in central London. Candida is not exactly destitute. So, is the move perversity, she wonders, a survival test, or is she punishing herself? How will she adjust to this shabby, menacing, but curiously appealing city? What can happen, at her age, to change her life? And yet, as sheclimbs the dingy communal staircase with her suitcases, she feels both nervous and exhilarated. There is a relationship with a computer to which she now confides her past and her present. And friendships of sorts with other women--widows, divorced, never married, women straddled between generations. And then Candida's surprise inheritance . . .
