'Oh God, one should not go to parties, Daisy sighed, sinking in wan
defeat in the melancholy dawn. One should not mingle with others;
one should keep oneself to oneself...' Lying awake after a hotel
party on holiday in the Mediterranean, Daisy Simpson reflects on
her lacklustre social performance and muses on the impression her
confident and graceful half-sister Daphne may have made on the
other guests. What is it that makes Daphne, Daphne and Daisy,
Daisy? And which of the two will attract the attentions of one of
their hosts, Raymond, whom they have both fallen for? Returning to
London, Daisy's life is strained by the efforts of presenting the
right elements of her personality to the right people, resulting in
embarrassments, difficulties and deceits as she navigates her
relationships and social standing. Rose Macaulay's novel, first
published in 1928, offers a sharp and witty commentary on how we
twist our identities to fit, delivered in an intelligent and
innovative style.
