But when Sandra Coyne looks at Jennie and Emily, she feels like a walking disaster.

Absolute Beginners Lucy Dalton wants to escape her frumpy, mundane life. Her job is boring, her social life non-existent and her mother is still trying to make her into the wonderful daughter she’s always dreamed of. Rosa Mooney is a walking disaster at whatever career she tries. Sick of being treated like a child, she is determined to be taken seriously at last. Kate Lewis has fled her old life for the tranquillity of running a small health store, having blown her chance at happiness. Agnes Cotter has been at the beck and call of bullying sister Beatrice for years. The genteel persona that she presents to the world masks a life of drudgery and bitterness.

None of them expect, when they sign up for a gourmet cookery course, that learning to cook will be the best therapy any of them could ever hope for.
