Review:
'Stothard's claustrophobic and compelling atmosphere of sadistic sexual fizz between her two main characters keeps the reader gripped' -- "The Times 'The novel is ultimately a dark description of adolescence -- surly and oversexed, vulnerable and murderous... it is remarkably accomplished' -- "The Observer 'Hypnotic, transgressive and enclosed... the quality of the writing is remarkable. Stothard gives Isabel a feverish lucidity which makes her see the truth but balk at knowing it.' -- Helen Dunmore 'She beats the young Francoise Sagan to pulp. She takes the everyday and turns it into something urgent, wondrous and alarmingly erotic. Is Camden Town really like this? Yes. See how she breathes new life into old literature.' -- Fay Weldon "From the Trade Paperback edition.
