Growing up in Edwardian south London, Alice Rowlands longs for
romance and excitement, for a release from a life that is dreary,
restrictive and lonely. Her father, a vet, is harsh and
domineering; his new girlfriend brash and lascivious. Alice seeks
refuge in memories and fantasies, in her rapturous longing for
Nicholas, a handsome young sailor, and in the blossoming of what
she perceives as her occult powers. A series of strange events
unfolds that leads her, dressed in bridal white, to a scene of
ecstatic triumph and disaster among the crowds on Clapham Common.
The Vet's Daughter is a uniquely vivid, witty and touching story of
love and mystery.
