But appearances are deceiving. Bored out of her mind and sexually frustrated beyond measure, she is not afraid to pen her true thoughts and feelings about the milkman, or Mr. Parsons who collects the insurance money, her new neighbour--in fact, about a whole range of men who cross her path on a daily basis. And her feelings spill over into startling actions. Like Defoe's Moll Flanders and Joyce's Molly Bloom, Dana Dale is remarkable for her unflinching honesty as she unfolds a story and reveals events that will shock and grip the reader's interest.
