A daughter's life is changed on discovering her adoptive father is
in fact her true father; in her imagination, an elderly woman
removes the blue mantle from a plaster statue of the Virgin Mary,
and is delighted to find black lace underneath; a senior academic,
about to deliver a lecture to his students, is unsettled by
memories of a passionate affair. These spare, elegant,
disconcerting stories swerve between the long perspectives of
memory and the abrupt questions of children running free: 'Where
does the world go when I am dead?' Marjorie Ann Watts, the author
of a series of books for children, brings to the ambiguities of
adult relationships, and the fault-lines between generations, a
rare and sharp-witted understanding of how the past remains forever
embedded in the present'
