More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Victoria lives in the belief that her parents' desire for a new baby is fuelled by their disappointment in her own imperfections and she tries to explain her feelings and frustrations in a childish diary.
As she surveys the world from behind her big blue-rimmed glasses, Paul, too afraid to approach her, keeps his distance yet watches her carefully, gradually developing an awareness of her that others may never understand.
The contrast between the painfully poetic explanations of Paul's emotions and the basic, misspelt scribblings of Victoria¹s diary emphasises the agony of the stirrings of first love, making their eventual and inevitable meeting on the Carousel all the more intense.
Midnight Fair is a rich and challenging book which treats its characters and its readers with respect, cleverly and intricately proving that the first tinglings of love and attraction do not have to be treated with schmaltz or embarrassment. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Why do Victoria's parents keep disappearing? No-one has the answers. It is Paul, for months too shy to speak to her, who boldly takes over on that magical day. Riding his dancing fairground horses to a new beginning, Victoria at last starts to find what she has been seeking.
