We’re introduced to her controlling and manipulative mother, Biddy her mousy but attentive father, Tom her Scottish grandparents, the true heroes of this story, Mamgu and Griff and Kate’s best friends from school, Moira and Ingrid. And after a disastrous weekend spent trying to “reconnect” with her boorish husband, Kate has definitely had it.Ĭarrie Kabak’s Cover The Butter, first published in 2005, is the story of one woman’s coming-of-age: the twists, turns and broken relationships that brought her to that wrecked kitchen in what was once her marital home. Bottles are strewn about urine puddles on the floor.
Back from a weekend trip with her aloof and inconsiderate husband, Rodney, she finds her lovely English home in a shambles - and all at the hands of her teenage son, Charlie. When first we meet Kate Fanshaw, she’s a woman with one broken spirit.
