| Description: |
'My mother thought I was the menopause.' One of Britain's greatest contemporary novelists turns her focus, in luminous, powerful prose, to her eccentric childhood in the fifties and sixties. |
| Synopsis: |
From her earliest years with a boozy, accident-prone father and a reluctantly pragmatic mother Janice Galloway's grew up as a watcher - careful and vigilant. Then her parents' marriage broke up and mother and daughter moved to an attic above a doctor's surgery. When her big sister Cora returned home, with her steady stream of boyfriends, snappy dress sense and matching temper, evasion became a way of life.This is a funny and telling book about the routine dependencies and confusions, hopes and triumphs of childhood: it is also a book about emergence, as slowly, the beginnings of unsuspected rage pushed the silent girl towards her voice. |
