Strangers
£6.29
Based on fact, but told with the imagination of a novelist, STRANGERS is the story of the author's family, the Tennants. Margot Asquith & Pamela Tennant (nee Wyndham), warring sisters-in-law; Pamela's children, her 'jewels'
- Clare the wilful beauty, Stephen Tennant the outrageous aesthete, David the nightclub king, & the steady, sensible Christopher who becomes head of the family when the eldest brother Bim dies on the Somme
- these are some of the characters brought to sudden & not always respectable life in this funny, touching & sometimes shocking novel. Their antics, dreams & grief are witnessed by the maid Louisa, & played out chiefly at Glen, the castle in the border of Scotl&, where the young narrator pulls from long-sealed cupboards the stories of her family's past. But as the secrets emerge the myth woven around the glamorous figures of the past is both enhanced & dispelled. Haunting & compelling, STRANGERS presents a family & its young detective in a startling light.
