Shall We Dance?
Author(s): Maggie Alderson
Loulou Landers, London's undisputed Queen of Vintage Fashion, meets a man on the eve of her dreaded forty-ninth birthday. He's kind, he's sensitive, he's divinely handsome and he carries a designer suit like George Clooney. Unfortunately, he's barely half her age, and Loulou's just not ready to 'go cougar'. Then there is Loulou's 21-year-old daughter, Theo, who won't get a job, won't move out, wears chainstore fashion and hasn't said a civil word to her mother for years. And she is on the verge of her own spectacularly unsuitable affair. So how will Loulou cope with a daughter who's off the rails, a man who won't take no for an answer, an ageing process that won't slow down - not to mention a birthday party in a camping ground? Like she always has - with wit, grit and an exemplary sense of style.
