The Seven Sisters reflects on the mid-life crisis of the estranged Candida Wilton, when she moves from her beautiful Georgian home in Suffolk to a rundown central London apartment.  Largely following Candida's evasive (and sometimes deceptive) representation of events as she relates them to her diary.

Lively, beautifully rendered, rich in literary allusions and psychological insight, The Seven Sisters is a splendid, broadly appealing novel about starting over, and is Margaret Drabble at her novelistic best.
