Lavinia Greenlaw's mesmerising debut novel about growing up in the
surreal banality of mid-'70s Essex. Lavinia Greenlaw puts before us
the monochrome, immemorial middle England of the 1970s in all its
dowdy glory, and has us see through the mercurial, bewitching Mary
George's eyes how a seemingly static landscape is suddenly
illuminated by the most vivid bursts of energy, colour and drama.
Punk's torch flares into life and singes the fringes of England.
Mary George bears witness and burns brighter still: she is more
memorable than even the extraordinary events around her, and the
reader will find it devastatingly hard to leave her company at the
end of this exceptional debut about growing up under the shadow of
an unknowable, inescapable small-town mystery.
