After Nigel Hetherington tells the entire school about their affair, Boyer ends the saga. She appears for one appearance at the political party, but she argues with Pandora over China's significance, and Pandora asks Claire (who brought her in the first place) not to bring her again. At the school reunion, she is now a stunning woman on her fifth husband. In the final book, she holds her birthday party at Nigel's flat. Adrian stumbles upon the party when he calls in on Nigel, and for a couple of hours enjoys himself, and realises later that if he had not gone to Nigel's, he would not have known about the party. Norman is the man in the flat next door to Adrian and Bianca's. He works as a fire-eater at a circus and, much to Adrian's chagrin, practises his act in their shared bathroom. He is annoyed at the sound the couple emit during their lovemaking. Mangan was born in Ponders End, in Enfield, north London, to Irish parents. [4] He has two sisters, Anita and Lisa.

She, like her husband, does not want to waste fossil fuels, and makes foul-tasting foods as a result. She helps her husband at his shop in Leicester High Street. Netta starts having an affair with a man named Roger Middleton, and it is debated whether she and Michael should divorce so Netta can marry Roger or have an open marriage; the eventual outcome is divorce. Michael and Netta had two daughters together, Poppy and Marigold. Adrian describes her as having unnaturally red cheeks.
