Getting Back Brahms

Mavis Cheek was born and grew up in Wimbledon. She failed her eleven plus (twice!) and was put in the B stream of a secondary modern school, where she tried, completely unsuccessfully, to learn to become a good and dutiful secretary. Instead, she left school at sixteen with no qualifications and immediately began working for Editions Alecto, the contemporary art publishers, where she worked with British and American artists such as David Hockney, Allen Jones, Bridget Riley, Patrick Caulfield and George Segal and was part of the team running Alecto's gallery in Albemarle Street, at the heart of the London art market. After twelve happy years at Editions Alecto, she left to go to Hillcroft College for Women from where she graduated in Arts with distinction. She then had her daughter, Bella, and began her writing career in earnest, being blessed in this by her complete lack of qualifications to do anything else. Journalism and travel writing were her first successes.

Sleeping Beauties

April 29,
Strange and disturbing, the goings on at Tabitha's Beauty Parlor far exceed facials and waxes. Tabitha is growing older and battling gravity. Time to turn the parlor over to the next successor. But is Chloe ready or even the right person? How much change is a good thing? Although the parlor represents beauty and the effort to create and preserve it, the underlying desperation of each women in the many subplots is very discomfiting--not necessarily untrue, but not altogether a mere matter of making the most of what you have. Part illusion and delusion, sex is traded, dreams take off, and we ultimately question what is worth valuing. I don't know that I liked this book. I have thought of it from time to time well after reading it, but more in a cautionary way or to compare it to more kindly developed plots, and it doesn't always hold up. The frothy ending is a slap in the face to all that comes before.
