Product Description

Review

‘Funny, feisty, sexy and tender.’ Esther Freud

‘Intelligent, funny and tough, Evangeline even manages to pull off the remarkable feat of making all those Victorian virtues that one acquires in the course of single parenthood – patience, endurance, self-denial – sound positively sexy.’ Jane Shilling, The Times

‘Blends a promiscuous mix of single motherhood, belly dancing, psychotic boyfriends and motorbikes into a stylishly literate thriller.’ Marie Claire

‘You will keep coming back to this book when you should be doing something else.’ Louis de Bernieres

‘Exciting, compelling and tense.’ Time Out

‘Funny and scary…with a memorable David Lynch-style take on Shepherd’s Bush. In writing honestly and unsentimentally, Young celebrates the unequivocal nature of parental love with verve and style.’ Julie Myerson, Mail on Sunday

Product Description

A fast-paced literary thriller in which ex-belly dancer Evangeline’s fight to protect three-year-old Lily draws her into the seedy underworld of her past – the first book in Louisa Young’s celebrated Anglo-Egyptian trilogy of Evangeline Gower novels.

Evangeline is a single parent whose child is the daughter of her sister, who was killed in a motorbike accident. Evangeline, who was driving the bike, sustained injuries which put an end to her belly dancing career. She now leads an exemplary life, writing and looking after Lily. But when she gets into trouble with the police, she is drawn into the shadowy world of drug dealers, pornographers and bent coppers that seems to have bizarre connections with her sister’s past.

With a plot that makes you rush to the end, this is a thriller without violence, a romance without sentiment and a brilliantly exciting novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unsentimental portrayal of the power of baby love!, 13 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Love (Paperback)
Parental love is a by-line to a fast paced and entertaining story. The author puts across the deep emotions of bereavement and love for her child with a sure and deft touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, sexy sensitive book, 7 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Love (Paperback)
A great story . . . sexual politics and suspense. Touching and well-observed relationship between mother and child. But I want to know what happens next . . .

2.0 out of 5 stars Goodness, what a silly book, 18 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Love (Paperback)
Louisa Young can definitely write. But what ridiculous storylines and characters! The heroine is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed belly-dancer, for a start, who gets embroiled in all sorts of outlandish and improbable situations. I just felt that Young was trying too hard to be cool, trying to impress the reader with how hard she is (couldn't shake the feeling that Evangeline was Young) All that motorbike stuff and hard-faced one-liners that no woman I know would ever come out with. To the reader who wanted to know what happens next, there is a sequel on its way apparently. Whoopee.
