Secondhand Paperback in Very Good Condition. Seems Unread
Margot is a late-night talk show host - the perfect job for an outspoken insomniac. Unsurprisingly, she finds there is little opportunity for peaceful slumber when she arrives back home from work in the early hours of the morning.
By that time, Curtis is getting ready for his morning run along the seafront; her teenage daughter Pia is anxiously anticipating her father's capricious weekly visits; and Mr Morland, the family hanger-on, is preparing for his various psychic consultations of the day.
There's also her mother, Zoe, once the acclaimed author of a quirky self-help book titled Homemaking For the Down-At-Heart, but now entering the late stages of dementia. And at the centre of it all is Margot, longing for silence and solitude, away from her home's seemingly endless needs.
