Publisher Comments:

Margaret Drabbles affecting novel, set in London during the 1960s, about a casual love affair, an unplanned pregnancy, and one young womans decision to become a mother.

Synopsis:

At a time when sex is de rigueur — this is the '60s, after all, in newly energized London — and illegitimacy taboo, Rosamund Stacey finds herself pregnant after her only sexual encounter. Despite her fierce independence and academic brilliance, Rosamund is naive and unworldly and the choices before her are terrifying. But in the perfection and helplessness of her baby she finds an unconditional love she has never known before, and the realization that motherhood and independence are not mutually exclusive.

About the Author

MARGARET DRABBLE is the author of The Sea Lady, The Seven Sisters, The Peppered Moth, and The Needle's Eye, among other novels. For her contributions to contemporary English literature, she was made a Dame of the British Empire in 2008.
