Welcome to our monthly Woman Alive Bookclub where we review and discuss some amazing books. Bookclub is hosted by Claire Musters
I knew a little about Fran already - that she used to be a teacher and that she is funny. Her previous books were amusing stories of teaching so this new novel is something of a departure. It is about 14-year-old Jackie Chadwick, and based during the heatwave summer of 1976. Jackie’s mum has died and her dad is not coping with life. An alcoholic, his lack of parenting is forcing Jackie to be self-sufficient – as well as look after him.
