"Gardam can see deep into the hearts of both parents and children as the balance of power tips . . . her sly style is perfect for this muted but primal struggle." (The New York Times Book Review)
"This novel about a friendship among three 17-year old girls powerfully evokes the people and the period at the end of WWII...At turns hugely funny and deeply moving." (The Atlantic Monthly)
Jane Gardam has twice won the Whitbread Award, for The Hollow Land, and Queen of the Tambourine. She is also the author of God on the Rocks, which was short-listed for the Booker Prize, and most recently, Faith Fox.
