'A powerful tragedy' 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
story of seduction and marriage, perfect for fans of Elizabeth Jane
Howard and Barbara Pym. ****************** Gavin and Hannah
Eastwood are a happy couple, holidaying with their overprotected
eleven-year-old son Giles in a beautiful village on the coast of
Belgium. Melissa is a student of Gavin's, also in the village,
having followed Gavin there. A hopeless romantic living in a
fantasy, she obsessively follows the family, going out of her way
to bump into the couple repeatedly - soon becoming inescapable.
While Gavin pities her, Hannah finds her presence alarming; and
while they're distracted by her appearances, they miss Giles
secretly pursuing his own sinister friendship. . . 'Teases your
curiosity and plays on your sympathy' Kirkus ******************
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
