'The ghost of Katherine Mansfield hovers lightly over these
deceptively delicate snapshots' Metro A beguiling collection of
short stories from award-winning author of Free Love, The Past and
Late in the Day, Tessa Hadley. Lottie announces at the breakfast
table that she is getting married. The youngest daughter of a large
and close-knit family, Lottie is nineteen but looks five years
younger. Her fiance is Edgar Lennox, a composer of religious music
and lecturer at Lottie's university, forty-five years her senior.It
is a story of romantic dreams and daily reality, family loyalties
tested but holding, and the comedy and solace to be found in small
moments. Evoking a world that expands beyond the pages, it marks
the beginning of what is an astonishing collection to treasure.

unworldly young women' Guardian
