'As her work reappears, another missing jigsaw piece is replaced'
Independent Described by the New York Times upon her death as 'one
of Britain's best-known novelists', plunge yourself into the wry
world of Pamela Hansford Johnson in this coming-of-marriageable-age
story, perfect for fans of Elizabeth Jane Howard and Barbara Pym.
****************** It's between the wars, and Christine - Christie,
to her friends - is tired of London, her job in a travel agency,
her friends, and the young men she's being set up with. So when, by
chance, she meets the older Ned Skelton, who seems sophisticated
and experienced, she quickly becomes besotted. Before Christie
knows it, they are engaged. But will marriage to a man she doesn't
know well truly offer this young woman an escape? Or is she walking
into another prison of her own making? A classic coming-of-age
story set in the 1930s, by one of Britain's best-loved and
almost-forgotten novelists. 'A story so vivid it might be the
memoir of a real person' Britannia and Eve ******************
Praise for Pamela Hansford Johnson: 'Witty, satirical and deftly
malicious' Anthony Burgess 'A remarkable craftswoman' A.S. Byatt
'Hansford Johnson at her wittiest is Waugh mingled with Malcolm
Bradbury Ruth Rendell 'A writer whose memory fully deserves to be
kept alive' Jonathan Coe
