I was given this book a while ago to read and review but already had a number of others to review so have only just got around to reading it now. However, it was worth the wait. Just the kind of book I enjoy. It is based around a number of characters but primarily they are all linked to ‘Madcap’ Maxie Mainwaring, the main character. Maxie comes from a wealthy

This is a very engrossing film. We live in an age now where really our sexuality is of little consequence, I know in some countries this is not so but my reality as a 41 year old lesbian has been that even in the last 20 years or so such huge inroads have taken place that sometimes I take it for granted. Watching this film made me pause and think again how very lucky I am
