📖 The Scoop
'Dazzlingly effective . . . not easy to forget' FINANCIAL TIMES
'Continually surprising, witty and often disquieting, Walking Naked is one of Nina Bawden's most impressive novels' COSMOPOLITAN
'Among the most perceptive and accomplished novelists writing today' P. D. JAMES
Laura is happily married, a mother and a successful novelist. Although she is prey to night terrors, she is adept at smoothing the disorder of reality into controlled prose. Walking Naked telescopes the whole of Laura's life - childhood, marriages, triumphs and disappointments - into a day in which the past and present converge. It begins with a game of tennis played for duty rather than amusement and progresses, via an afternoon party of old friends and jaded emotions, to a bewildering visit to Laura's son, imprisoned on a drugs' charge. At its close, the possibility of death within the family hauls unresolved conflicts centre stage and Laura strips herself of the posturing and self-deceit with which she has cloaked her vulnerability.
Genre: Fiction / General (fancy, right?)
