About this listen

First published in 1978, this is Deborah Moggach's first novel, newly republished by Tinder Press.

Three sisters, Claire - a model daughter, a teacher, straightforward, happy yet wanting love. Laura, the wild one, a student, a beauty, yearning to break the bounds of family life. And Holly, their little sister, the one they don't really know, but who watches everything.

Leaving home, seduction, coming of age and growing up abound in this delicious novel of sibling rivalry, partnership and love.

I loved this book. Deborah is a wonderful writer, who brings places and people to life. The characters in this novel felt very real, and the focus upon the sister relationships was great. Excellent narration.
