When Clara returns home from the convent of her childhood to begin
life at a local girls' school, she is at a loss: although she has
comparative freedom, she misses the discipline the nuns imposed and
worries about keeping her faith in a secular world. Against the
background of the First World War, Clara experiences the confusions
of adolescence - its promise, its threat of change. She longs for
love, yet fears it, and wonders what the future will hold. Then
tragedy strikes and her childhood haltingly comes to an end as she
realises that neither parents nor her faith can help her. The Lost
Traveller is the first in the trilogy sequel to Frost in May, which
continues with The Sugar House and Beyond the Glass. Although each
is a complete novel in itself, together they form a brilliant
portrait of a young girl's journey to adulthood.
