An Experiment in Love (Paperback, New ed)

Moving, in the 1970s, from a terraced house in a small Lancashire cotton town, via the Convent School ('where discouragement was wielded like an intangible baton') to London University was, for Julianne, Karina and Carmen (through whose eyes we view the experience) like skipping a generation and entering a foreign land. A witty, sardonic, astute and acutely observant account of confused feminine rebellion - and the Catholic church. (Kirkus UK)

Following 'A Change in Climate', this brilliant novel from the double Man Booker prize-winning author of 'Wolf Hall' is a coming-of-age tale set in Seventies London. It is London, 1970. Carmel McBain, in her first term at university, has cut free of her childhood roots in the north. Among the gossiping, flirtatious girls of Tonbridge Hall, she begins her experiments in life and love. But the year turns. The mini-skirt falls out of style and an era of concealment begins. Carmel's world darkens, and tragedy waits in the wings.
