[a: Kate Atkinson|10015|Kate Atkinson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1363801830p2/10015.jpg] is one of my favorite writers, so when I heard that she'd written a play, I decided to track it down. It's nice that it is available, even if it's published with one of the most hideous covers I've ever seen. Look! What the hell is that? It makes the play look like an episode of Dynasty. Which it absolutely is not. Like much of Atkinson's work, the story is about a family of women with complicated pasts and various secrets, and there's a wonderful historical aspect, and a mystery, and ghosts! It's really clever and interesting, and if you can find it anywhere, I really recommend it. Don't be scared off by the cover.
