Maggie Scratch is an enchanting character and this is a sparkler of a book. Follow Maggie from Jewish Philadelphia in the 1970s, through a whole series of encounters, adventures, disasters and fun as she explores the world of sex, drugs, music, dance, relationships and life, before finishing up on the idyllic (sort of) island of Ibiza with her partner, the charming and wonderful painter, Izzy. Maggie is left with just one longing - for a child. Izzy's had a vasectomy. But we're not finished yet... Maggie tells it raw, honest and funny, and if you're a baby boomer of her generation, you'll find plenty of resonance with the landmarks of your own life - Review by Rosalie Warren.
