Hideous Kinky by Esther Freud
(192 pages)
This novel is about a feckless young mother and her two daughters in Morocco in the 1960s. While mum immerses herself in the Sufi religion, the children begin to rebel: Bea insists on going to school while the five-year-old narrator dreams of mashed potato.
A nice quick read, with a fascinating narrator and a cast of strange and intriguing characters.
