 Local Description1992. A very good copy. DescriptionEliza Peabody is one of those dangerously blameless women who believes she has God in her pocket. She is too enthusiastic; she talks too much. Her concern for the welfare of her wealthy South London neighbours extends to ingenuous well-meaning notes of unsolicited advice under the door. It is just such a one-sided correspondence that heralds Eliza's undoing. Did her letter have something to do with the woman's abrupt disappearance? Why will no one else speak of her? And why the watchful, pitying looks and embarrassment that now greet her? AwardsWinner of Whitbread Book of the Year Award Novel Category 1991 and Whitbread Prize (Novel) 1991. |
