Love Is Strange

About this book

Clifford is an eight-year-old schoolboy who yearns to be an adult; Annette, his troubled elder sister, is on the cusp of adolescence and coping with a convent education. Their mother Gillian, an archetypal fifties housewife, is devoted to Clifford until life and events propel her elsewhere. Her husband Arthur is dictatorial and aloof, and in time his inner turmoils are to result in swift and devastating consequences for the family.
