Hanging Up

Eve spends half of her life on the telephone, talking to her sisters, and especially to her father, who, after a life of alcoholism, manic depression, constant telephoning, and intermittent affection, is finally, to everyone's relief, dying. Frightened of death, and a wreck about her own ageing, Eve must look to her past to find out who she really is - to the Mozell family history of three sisters who, after their mother left, had to raise not only themselves, but their father too.
