“A self-absorbed young woman raised as an only child by a single mother has her life turned upside down when her reclusive mother suddenly decides to marry a wealthy older man and move to a villa in the south of France with her new husband. The grown daughter is left behind in London, albeit with a flat of her own, a fat bank account, and a cheating boyfriend. For the next several years the daughter (who is the first-person narrator of the story) travels back and forth between London and Nice (to visit her mom) enjoying her newfound freedom and indepedence. In the back of her mind she suspects her mom is unhappy in her new circumstances, which casts a shadow over the narrator's own life, but the mother insists that all is well, and life goes on. When the old man dies in a freak accident his wife, who was kind of 'spacey' to begin with, sinks into a deep depression bordering on dementia, and is no longer able to care for herself. In another reversal of fortune the daughter is left with the responsibility of caring for her ailing mother both financially and physically. ”
