Privileged Children, first published in 1982, was the brilliant
debut fiction by the prodigiously gifted Frances Vernon
(1963-1991), which earned her the Author's Club Award for Best
First Novel. When Diana Molloy dies in 1912 she leaves a curious
inheritance to her 14-year-old daughter Alice - her collection of
books, and a lasting attachment to her mother's bohemian friends.
The self-possessed young Alice is dismayed, therefore, to be packed
off to live with a rural clergyman uncle. But it's not long before
she contrives an escape back to her beloved Bloomsbury, and the
opportunity to forge her own way in the world. 'Saucy and daring...
here is genuine sparkle and invention.' Daily Express 'Highly
enjoyable' Jenny Uglow, TLS
