ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE BRITISH WRITERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY 'The first writer to filter her stories through a woman's feelings and perceptions' ANITA BROOKNER 'Every emotional ripple is beautifully observed: the hideous anticipation' GUARDIAN 'Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love, of mothers, of daughters' MARGARET DRABBLE A diary for her innermost thoughts, a china ornament, a ten-shilling note, and a roll of flame-coloured silk for her first evening dress: these are the gifts Olivia Curtis receives for her seventeenth birthday. She anticipates her first dance, the greatest yet most terrifying event of her restricted social life with tremulous uncertainty and excitement.
