После «Изменения климата», этот блестящий роман от двукратного лауреата Букеровской премии Хилари Мантел - история взросления, разворачивающаяся в Лондоне семидесятых.
Лондон, 1970 год. Кармел Макбейн, студентка первого курса университета, порвала со своими детскими корнями на севере. Среди сплетниц и кокетливых девушек общежития Тонбридж Холл она начинает свои эксперименты в любви и жизни. Но год меняется. Мини-юбки выходят из моды, и наступает эра скрытности. Мир Кармел мрачнеет, а трагедия ждет за кулисами.
Hilary Mantel's new novel continues her magnificent tale following the untimely death of Simon Scarrow's Maggie Barnes (which we gaped over here)...but this time take an inside look at the lives of young women instead.\nDrawing equally on her experiences as an English professor and mom of strategic daughters, Mantel revisits the bleak period surrounding the 1982 general election when many young people feel the cold embrace of the "new age" actually means more traditional values work best."In one memorable sentence," as The Times put it, "Hilary Mantel neatly sums up what Marmalade Koteliansky, who thought about Southampton dockers in Wolf Hall and that bonny Cleo's garden growth in The Cold Spring, has carved for herself a niche by specialising in complex, richly imagined, fully immersive female psychology.

Carmel McBain, in her first term at university, has cut free of her childhood roots in the north.

Carmel’s world darkens, and tragedy waits in the wings.
