It\'s never too late to bloom ...
An uncompromising feminist and a fierce fighter, it\'s a joy to watch her bloom..
In Susan we find a character as exasperating and delightful as The Rosie Project\'s Don Tillman.
But when problems closer to home become increasingly hard to ignore, she finds help in the unlikeliest of places.
This sparkling debut is a breath of fresh air with real heart and a powerful emotional punch.
Yet suddenly faced with the loss of her mother and, implausibly, with the possibility of becoming a mother herself, Susan\'s greatest fear is being realised: she is losing control.
When she discovers that her mother\'s will inexplicably favours her brother, Susan sets out to prove that Edward and his equally feckless friend Rob somehow coerced this dubious outcome.
She has a London flat which is ideal for one; a job that suits her passion for logic; and a personal arrangement providing cultural and other, more intimate, benefits.
Age 45, she thinks her life is perfect, as long as she avoids her feckless brother, Edward - a safe distance away in Birmingham. \'The Cactus will be compared to Gail Honeyman\'s 2017 hit, the appealingly eccentric Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine\' The Sunday Times \'Wonderfully funny and astute\' Red\'Funny, compelling, well-written...for fans of Marian Keyes who demand a bit of grit in their comic writing\' Emerald Street\'An original, engaging and totally believable character\' - Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project\'Legal battles, lapses of logic and the joys and fears of motherhood are explored in this astute, funny and moving novel of a woman learning how to let go\' Daily MailPeople aren\'t sure what to make of Susan Green - family and colleagues find her prickly and hard to understand, but Susan makes perfect sense to herself, and that\'s all she needs.
