About this product

Product Information

From the critically acclaimed author of SMALL PLEASURES From the highly-acclaimed author of SMALL PLEASURES - longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2021 ____________________ Abigail Jex never expected to see any of the Radley household again. The Radleys were extraordinary, captivating creatures transplanted from a bohemian corner of North London to outer suburbia, and the young Abigail found herself drawn into their magic circle- the eccentric Frances, her new best friend; Frances' mother, the liberated, headstrong Lexi; and of course the brilliant, beautiful Rad. Abigail thought she'd banished the ghost of her life with them and the catastrophe that ended it, but thirteen years later a chance encounter forces her to acknowledge that the spell is far from broken... Praise for Clare Chambers- 'Smart, astute, and very funny' Daily Mail 'This delicious novel is a joy from beginning to end' Lisa Jewell 'Gorgeous... If you're looking for something escapist and bittersweet, I could not recommend more' Pandora Sykes on SMALL PLEASURES 'Chambers' eye for undemonstrative details achieves a Larkin-esque lucidity' Guardian 'An intelligent and escapist read - well written, and very funny' Daily Express
