She is a modern-day Florence Nightingale, always up at the Hospice or the Wives' club; she is too enthusiastic; she talks too much. Her concern for the welfare of her wealthy south London neighbours even extends to ingenuous, well-meaning notes of unsolicited advice under the door. It is just such a one-sided correspondence that heralds Eliza's undoing. Did her letter have something to do with Joan's abrupt disappearance from number forty-one? What to make of the long absences of her husband and Joan's, and of the two men's new, inseparable friendship? And why will no one else on Rathbone Road speak of Joan? As Eliza's own life seems to disintegrate, she finds that, despite the pity and embarrassment with which her neighbours greet her, she is at last being drawn into their lives - although not in the way she had once fantasised about. This is a sharp, poignant and wickedly funny tale of love, heartache and disillusionment. 1179188 book 1995 The Queen of the Tambourine total:129|5:18|4:45|3:44|2:14|1:8| 129 438 195 38 5 0 false false Sat Oct 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 11:38:38 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 11:54:29 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jan 03 12:31:46 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 12:32:32 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false true Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Wed Feb 25 05:11:23 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 05:16:37 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Nov 19 05:07:20 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 14:50:22 -0800 2008
