A subtle and piercing story of growing up in a special atmosphere of pre-Raphaelitism. Allie is smart, diligent, and fights a never-ending - and invariably unsuccessful - battle for her mother's approval and affection. Her mother Elizabeth is obsessed with the mission of feeding the afflicted and saving the fallen, and raising her daughters for her is the observance of the rules, discipline and austerity in everything. Even when Allie receives a scholarship and becomes one of the first women to study medicine, her mother remains indifferent to her daughter's success. But Sarah Moss's novel about a woman's attempts to escape from the chains of prohibitions and attitudes is not so much a story about the birth of feminism, but an immersion in the world of the family, where love is hidden too deeply.
