Book description
>Her first husband, Richard, was much older than her, and his casual
disregard for youth gradually hardened into indifference. And Jonathan,
if anything, was too easy - too attentive, too concerned, and just a
little too pedantic.
So when she meets Joshua Heron at a party, the offbeat Clare isn t
exactly thirsting for love. But she is mildly impressed when Joshua
stubs his cigarette out on his thumb, and swayed still further by the
advice of her new friend, the indomitable Mrs Fox. Take a lover, she
says, it s better to have a lover when you re young than neurosis when
you re old...
Gentle, wistful and wry, Nowhere Girl
is a beautifully controlled love story from the Booker Prize winning
author of The Elected Member
