Three Times Table

3.7/5 ( ratings)

Three women share a house in London. Rachel, her daughter Phoebe and her 15 year-old granddaughter Maggie all have to confront crucial but apparently unrelated personal dilemmas in the same twenty-four hours. Rachel an eminent palaeontologist, has to face the fact that her life work is scientifically wrong; Phoebe has a breast lump she has ignored long enough; and Maggie has to recognise that her adventures with her dragon are preventing her from growing-up.
The novel has been described as “symphonic” because of its tight structure and interwoven imagery and as “a rare blend of erudition and flamboyance” because of the way it pulls together scientific ideas and magical realist writing.
