'A powerful portrait of that dangerous limbo of a girl's adolescence when she is no longer a child but not yet a woman' Literary Review

'A quiet but highly charged novel in which intense emotion is counterpointed with an evocation of landscape . . . Without a trace of sentimentality, Shreve tackles the tricky subject of love between a young woman and older man, and fashions her excellent characters with feeling, subtlety and integrity' Elizabeth Buchan, The Times
