Summary
Jean Clocker is conceived by her mother, Wisteria, to entrap a First World War veteran into marriage. But when she fails to rid herself of the now-redundant snare, Wisteria visits maternal tyranny on Jean. Born into a body as epic as the life she will live, Jean spends her early years avoiding her mother's blows and striving to be a little less extraordinary. She is finally released from servitude at the start of the Second World War. Orphaned, she thrives in wartime whilst fearing the return of normality and conformity. Then Denny, a GI, facilitates her second liberation, as he takes her across the ocean as his bride. But in California he disappears without warning, and Jean is again required to negotiate the world alone
