Product Description
Synopsis
Sybil Ross has been brought up by her Jewish furrier father and style-obsessed mother to be an empty-headed fashion plate. But on the worst night of Liverpool's blitz she uncovers a secret that leaves her disorientated and eventually leads her to the very edge of America and a final choice.

From the Publisher
Remarkable prize-winning tale of fashion and communism
Sybil Ross has been brought up by her Jewish furrier father and style-obsessed mother as an empty-headed fashion plate. Only on the worst night of Liverpool's Blitz does she uncover a secret that leaves her disoriented, belonging nowhere. When the war is over, Sybil embarks on a voyage that takes her from Liverpool to New York City, through fashion, jazz, Communism, McCarthyism and love, and ultimately to the furthest coast of the continent and a final choice. The Cast Iron Shore is a beautiful evocation of one woman's journey from the 1930s to the 1990s, combining the personal and political in an outstanding first novel. Winner of the David Higham Award, shortlisted for the Guardian Fiction Prize. "In Sibyl Ross, Grant has given us a female protagonist to match the end of the twentieth century" Lisa Jardine; "A remarkable chronicle of the second half of the twentieth century...Grant offers us big ideas and a clever plot, along with some truly fine writing" Daily Telegraph --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
