Buzz Wexler is an old hand at the music PR business: Angry Belgians, Cheesy Boys and Ear Wax were all her babies. And for a woman who was forty last birthday she certainly keeps up the pace. But that's about to change. Now some twenty year old has been given Wasabi Gymslip, the Japanese group predicted to go stellar and Buzz is being sidelined into something called World Music. It'll be a blast, her boss assures her.
The Gornji Grannies may not be the tantrum-throwing celebs Buzz is used to, but they present other challenges. How to stop Lubke straining yogurt through M&S knee highs; how to persuade Mara that Tail Wagers' Gravy Bones aren't intended for human consumption.
Fueled by copious shots of home-brewed plum raita, Buzz and Lubke address life's disappointments until the world tilts and the future beckons. This novel explores the comic possibilities of culture clash and the unexpected friendship of two women whose lives are poles apart. Laurie Graham is a brilliant satirist who is also warm and life affirming.
