INTRODUCED BY JANE GARDAM In the brown hall my mother was standing; and she looked at me with her sad eyes half-covered by their heavy lids. if she had been a dog, my father would have destroyed her. In a house full of screeching animals in Edwardian South London, Alice lives in the shadow of her domineering father. Longing to escape, she retreats ever deeper into a world of memories, fantasies and rapturous longings - until she discovers an extraordinary secret power of her own. But the strange events that unfold lead her, dressed in bridal white, to a scene of ecstatic triumph and disaster among the crowds on Clapham Common. Blackly funny and indelibly haunting, The Vet's Daughter combines shocking realism with a visionary edge. 'A wonderful and original novel' ALAN HOLLINGHURST. 'The strange off-beat talent of Barbara Comyns [whose] innocent eye observes with child-like simplicity the most fantastic or the most ominous occurrence'. GRAHAM GREENE. 'Quite simply, Comyns writes like no one else' MAGGIE O'FARRELL.
