Set in the 80’s in the North-East of England, Miss Perfect is a reflective, sympathetic and engaging novel. The central character is earnest and concerned social worker Madge who is battling the change in culture and financial cuts while trying to protect the children in her care. Meanwhile, she is contemplating life as a single late middle-aged woman and what the future has in store, especially as it looks like the ‘powers that be’ want to ease her out of her job unless she can find a way to fight back, but will it mean too much of a compromise?
Looking back from Ireland, Miss Madge Perfect remembers the time when social work was her life - before Dan, her ambitious young deputy, conspired with the bosses at County Hall to 'ease her out'. They called it 'restructuring', with no place for a fifty-something woman who put her clients first. The arrival of the oddball sociology professor, Mitchell, hired by County Hall to evaluate service delivery in her office, brings a change in Madge's outlook on her life and work - his university seems as mad as her local authority.
