Frankie
‘Warm and wise, Frankie is a woman worth getting to know’ BONNIE GARMUS ‘I loved Frankie so much. I couldn’t stop reading it, but feel bereft now that I’ve finished’ NIGELLA LAWSON Frankie Howe was never quite sure enough of herself to take centre stage – after all, life had already judged her harshly. Now in her eighties, she finds it easier to forget the life that came before. Then Damian, a young Irish carer, arrives at her London flat to keep an eye on her as she recovers from a fall. A memory is sparked, and the past crackles into life as Damian listens to the story Frankie has kept stored away all these years. From post-war Ireland to the dazzling art scene of 1960s New York, Frankie shares a world in which friendships and chance encounters collide. And as Frankie’s past slowly emerges, her spirit and endurance are revealed as undeniable… and unforgettable.
