A piercing story of thwarted love and true friendship from one of
our greatest living writersMarianne Clifford, 15, only child of a
peppery army colonel and his vain wife, Lal, falls helplessly and
absolutely for Simon Hurst, 18, whose cleverness and physical
beauty suggest that he will go forward into a successful and monied
future, helped on by doting parents. But fate intervenes. Simon's
plans are blown off course, and Marianne is forced to bury her
dreams of a future together.Narrating her own story, characterising
herself as ignorant and unworthy, Marianne's telling use of irony
and smart thinking gradually suggest to us that she has
underestimated her own worth. We begin to believe that - in the
end, supported by her courageous Scottish friend, Petronella - she
will find the life she never stops craving. But what we can't
envisage is that beneath his blithe exterior, Simon Hurst has been
nursing a secret which will alter everything.
