Beschreibung

Rediscover the brilliance of Lucy Carmichael in the Mermaid Collection - timeless classics by pioneering female authors, beautifully reissued to enchant today's readers.'The Mermaid Collection is so sure footed that you're unlikely to go wrong' India Knight<br>Originally published in 1951 from the author of beloved holiday classic The Feast comes a glorious coming-of-age tale about a heroine whose wedding day does not go entirely to plan . . . <br><br>With a foreword by Lucy Mangan <br>***<br><br>'People seem to get over things, don't they? I don't know how, but they do - ordinary people. I'm very ordinary, so I expect I shall do what they do.'<br><br>Lucy Carmichael is jilted at the altar. But no matter. Her loving and kind family never liked her explorer fiancé anyway.<br><br>Instead of moping or falling into her supportive family's arms, however, Lucy abandons their suburban home. Heading for the country, she takes up a teaching position in the industrial town of Ravonsbridge.<br><br>There, she finds solace in her work, in her new (rather gossipy) colleagues - and rediscovers her sensible young self.<br><br>But if Lucy has, despite everything, kept her head - where lies her heart?<br><br>Praise for Margaret Kennedy:<br><br>'She is not only a romantic but an anarchist, and she knows the ways of men and women very well indeed' Anita Brookner<br><br>'Kennedy was immensely popular in her heyday' Washington Post<br><br>'Margaret Kennedy's poised style, cool wit and skilful characterization kept her novels welcome for three decades' Cambridge Guide to Literature in English
