Summary: God on the rocks describes Margaret Marsh's coming of age one summer between two world wars. Caught in the backwash of a fervently religious father, a bitterly nostalgic mother and the bawdy jokes of her nanny, Margaret escapes by roaming the meadows and beaches of coastal England. Drama, tragedy and a touch of farce lend themselves to Gardam's typically eloquent prose.
