Zoë's mother, an early widow, is one of those women who never worked and Zoë, despite a university degree, is not very successful in her professional or social life; so what's going to happen to mother and daughter? In fact nothing much, but the book makes us ask: what makes life worthwhile? What is an interesting, happy or full life? And that's where the interest of the book lies.
