Gardam, Jane

God on the rocks / Jane Gardam - New York : Europa Editions , 2010, c.1978 - 195 p. ; 21 cm.

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.
