their daughters in tow. One of these daughters?fiery  independent-minded Rosaleen?moves back to
London  where she meets and begins an affair with the famous sculptor Felix Lehmann  a
German-Jewish refugee artist over twice her tender eighteen years. When Rosaleen finds herself
pregnant with Felix's child  she is evicted from her flat  dismissed from her job  and
desperate to hide the secret from her family. Where  and to whom  can she turn? Meanwhile  Kate

holds. Stirring and nostalgic at moments  visceral and propulsive at others  I Couldn't Love
