At first I thought this book was going to be too chick-litty for me but it won me over. The woman in it, Georgie, is actually very authentic and the writer has combined her with a cast of eccentric Jewish and Palestinian characters, some sleazy real estate agents, do-gooder social workers and a gay workmate thrown in to entertaining, if stereotypical, effect. It’s the story of Naomi Shapiro an old bag lady type who is at risk of being forced out of her old home. Georgie uncovers the story of her life and a whole heap of other people get involved and of course everybody falls in love and lives happily ever after. Good for reading in the bath because it has lots of froth and bubble. 2 1/2 stars
