Adrienne Fox is a retired musician who
began her literary career reviewing concerts. This is her fifth novel. The
other novels are the following: The Retirement, Starstruck, Tit for Tat, and
IQ. Adrienne Fox writes about life in Britain from 1941–1963, when old
traditions came head-to-head with new ideas as wartime austerity gave way to
the Swinging Sixties. She colorfully describes growing up in a constant
conflict of the morals, views, and opinions at a time when material goods were
in short supply, conversation took the place of electronic entertainment, and
serious communication was restricted to letter writing. Through wry humor, she
tells of her efforts to understand family conflicts and of her own ill-formed
ambitions. Desperately wanting to please in order to “keep the peace” but
frequently appearing to fall short, “Can’t do right for doing wrong” aptly
describes periods of her progress. Her story paints a tragic-comic picture of
the incidents and attitudes within the time frame beginning in a northern
industrial town, where the ration books vied with the hymn books in the family
home, to college life in London and trying to find a job.
