Brought up in a suffocating, emotionless home in the north of
England, Clara finds freedom when she wins a scholarship and moves
to London. There, she meets Clelia and the rest of the brilliant
and charming Denham family; they dazzle Clara with their gift for
life, and Clara longs to be part of their bohemian world. But while
she will do anything to join their circle, she gives no thought to
the chaos that she may cause . . . 'Drabble presents characters who
are not passively witnessing their lives (and ours); she is not a
writer who reflects the helplessness of the stereotyped "sick
society", but one who has taken upon herself the task, largely
ignored today, of attempting the active, vital, energetic,
mysterious re-creation of a set of values by which human beings can
live' - Joyce Carol Oates
