DescriptionWhen her parents abandon their seedy Streatham pub for a tearoom in Kent, life for April changes dramatically. She is befriended by the wonderfully dangerous Ruby and by the creepy but immaculately dressed Mr Greenridge, who likes to follow her around the village. AwardsShortlisted for Booker Prize for Fiction 1996. Reviews'A harvest festival of sensuous detail, intimate, rich... compulsively readable' -- "Daily Telegraph" 'So touched with magic, so achingly sad and funny that my breath was taken away... Wonderful' -- "The Times" 'Mackay moved this reader to ears, not from grief, but from joy. Now there's a skill' -- Fay Weldon," Mail on Sunday" |
