Sitting among the Eskimos

By Maggie Graham

Thirty-something Lizzie Burns lives between two worlds: a mature student and mother in the final year of an English degree she is caught in a desperately sad, often hilariously funny cultural clash. Branded 'no right in the heid' by her resentful husband, her disgruntled father and the inhabitants of the small seaside town where she lives, she must juggle Shakespeare's tragic heroines with the demands of three unruly children; and stave off her fear that she just isn't cut out for the hallowed Faculty of Arts at all. As finals loom, Lizzie begins to feel just how easily she could lose her grip - and see her aspirations, and family, slip away from her. But this woman is not so easily defeated...
