I loved most of the women and girls - Tessa, Kay, Krystal, Sukvinder, volatile Parminder, even ridiculous Samantha.
I found Shirley and Howard, like Simon, too evil to relate to. (The elder Mollisons were rendered in rather broad strokes. Daily Mail readers - that was quite telling, Rowling, that they're supposed to be baddies. They are like if the Durselys were Slytherins.) (less)
