Spencer's List (Viking fiction)

Spencer, Fran and Iris have something in common: the feeling that life is passing them by. Spencer's lost his lover, who bequeathed him a list of things to do; Fran shares a run-down house with her oddball brother; whilst Iris spends her time cleaning up after her two teenage sons..."Spencer's List" is a wonderfully funny tale of life lived on the edge - of reason, of failure and of (just possibly) a brighter future.
