A London boutique owner on the cusp of turning 40 finds herself seized by the maternal instinct in British actress Clune's sarcastic, forced debut. Every year, Amy Stokes's motley group of friends throws a birthday party for her, although this year, the owner of Precious Little Darlings, Amy's successful "baby kitsch" store in Chelsea, is feeling desperate at age 39. Despite making good money, and having become "the darling of the chattering breeding classes," Amy wonders: Where is her adult life? And where are her children, when all her friends are getting pregnant? Events transpire to tenderize Amy to become a mother: She accidentally runs over her own sweet dog, Germaine, and, while tottering home from the pub one night, finds a week-old baby left crying in a bin outside her apartment. But the novel's plot does not pivot on the abandoned infant.

Obviously there are some women who don't feel quite as free as Jackie to go public on their new-found desire, even now. This is more likely to be the case among lesbians who live far away from the gay-friendly urban centres of Manchester and London.
