This is a wickedly sharp, history-bending, cosmos-colliding novel from one of Britain`s most iconic authors. Meet Frances, Fay`s might-have-been younger sister, an unreliable narrator who bends history & blends universes to create a sparkling & prophetic portrait of a once & future Britain. It`s 2013 & eighty-year-old Frances is listening to the debt collectors pounding on the front door of Number 3, Chalcot Crescent. While she waits for the bailiffs to give up & leave, Frances writes. She writes about the boyfriends she borrowed & the husband she stole from Fay. She writes about the Shock, the Crunch, the Crisis & the Bite, about NUG the National Unity Government, about ration books & National Meat Loaf (suitable for vegetarians). She writes about family secrets... The problem is that fact & fiction are blurring in Frances` mind. Are faceless assassins trying to kill her younger daughter? Are her grandchildren really plotting a terrorist coup upstairs? What on earth can NUG have against vegetarians? & just what makes National Meat Loaf so tasty? ...

CHALLENGE was Vita Sackville-West`s second novel. It was ready to go to print in 1920, but the aughor suddenly changed her mind. This was not because she lacked confidence in her work, but because of the scandal it would have caused. CHALLENGE remained unpublished for over fifty years. Vita`s love affair with violet Trefusis had reached its peak, &, eloping to France, they decided to abandon everything & everyone
- children & husbands included
- to spend the rest of their lives together. Although they returned to their families eventually, CHALLENGE remains a testament of their love, & was written during that period.
