GOD ON THE ROCKS - JANE GARDAM KARTONIERT (TB)

'A meticulously observed modern classic' Independent   During one glorious summer between the
wars  the realities of life and the sexual ritual dance of the adult world creep into the life
of young Margaret Marsh. Her father  preaching the doctrine of the unsavoury Primal Saints  her
mother  bitterly nostalgic for what might have been  Charles and Binkie  anchored in the past
and a game of words  dying Mrs Frayling and Lydia the maid  given to the vulgar enjoyment of
life  all contribute to Margaret's shattering moment of truth. And when the storm breaks  it is
not only God who is on the rocks as the summer hurtles towards drama  tragedy  and a touch of
farce.   'Tantalising  funny  sharp' Daily Telegraph    'So charming a novel that you don't
want to give away a single one of the many twists of its plot' New York Times    'Jane Gardam
has a spectacular gift' Times Literary Supplement
