intensity and scintillating dialogue' -The Desmond Elliott Prize
Exploring themes of ownership and abandonment, Eleanor Anstruther's
bestselling debut is a fictionalised account of the true story of
Enid Campbell (1892-1964), granddaughter of the 8th Duke of Argyll.
Interweaving one significant day in 1964 with a decade during the
interwar period, A Perfect Explanation gets to the heart of what it
is to be bound by gender, heritage and tradition, to fight, to
lose, to fight again. In a world of privilege, truth remains the
same; there are no heroes and villains, only people misunderstood.
Here, in the pages of this extraordinary book where the unspoken is
conveyed with vivid simplicity, lies a story that will leave you
reeling.
