About this title: Evelyn Axon is an aging medium by trade, living with her possibly retarded (and now pregnant) daughter, Muriel, in a filthy, rubbish-filled house. Isabel Field, a social worker, tries to help, but has her own problems with her married lover, Colin, who is stuck in a predictably stale marriage. When Isabel does finally intervene in Evelyn's life, the results are not what anyone ever expected. As for Muriel's hapless baby--well, don't ask. Hilary Mantel's gruesomely comic 1985 novel is her first; its sequel (VACANT POSSESSION) was published in 1986.
