This story follows a group of the young and single - children of 60's swingers. They are bedevilled by indecision, choice, tradition, and their parents' marital history. The men can't commit, the girls can't reconcile independence and maternity, the rules seem to be vanishing - and time is passing.

"[An] engaging tale about life's twists and turns, occasioned as much by character as by circumstance, and the ways family ties both help and hinder...[Trollope] deftly sketches her characters' situations with her usual hardheaded but empathetic under-standing of the way the world works for men and women. Vintage Trollope, fluidly and accessibly written as always, now with an American twist."

'She writes so beautifully ... in a style so graceful and judicious that you would call it restful if it were not also palpably intelligent.' (Evening Standard)
'Joanna Trollope is a wonderful novelist of domestic detail ... Girl From the South is, like all her books, a really good read, spiked with insight.' (The Observer)
'At the heart of Trollope's tightly written, acutely observed novel is what it means to be a family.' (New Statesman)
'This is a novel about the modern affairs of the heart. It explores the dilemmas of men who won't commit themselves and women who yearn for sublime romantic love.' (The Daily Mail)
