Description
'The book has a solidity and reality which only true talent could evoke.'
- THE SUNDAY TIMES
Emily Stone's was a lonely, unfulfilled childhood. Unattractive and despised at school, she yearned for emotions she had never known, for the love she had never had. But all that changed when she met Sasha Courtney. Sasha introduced her to friendship, love and the glamour of good living.
In a series of powerful and sensitive scenes, Anne Redmon relates how that friendship withered and died; how Emily was left as a hardened, ruthless and uncaring woman in her attitude to others; how she became destitute and alone, a victim of self-inflicted solitude that she could not understand that she could not prevent.
For this novel, Anne Redmon won the YORKSHIRE POST'S Phyllis Bentley Award for the Best First Work of 1974.
