"Posy Simmonds’ latest reads like a post-Brexit take on Daniel Clowes’ Wilson: we meet our eponymous anti-heroine Cassandra in December 2017, late in the day, belligerently scuttling through the Christmas crowds, avoiding a client who she thinks may have found her out (Cassandra runs an art dealership with her ex-husband, who has ceded control to her as his dementia bites) and cursing the world for the predicament in which she finds herself. Before you can say ‘it isn’t really a spoiler because it happens right at the start of the book’, she is ruined, reputation in tatters, fortune cast to the four winds and all very much not right with the world."
