'She wondered what her mother
would have made of Amelia, Magnus,
Gabriel, Clelia and Annunciata, let
alone Sebastian and Candida.'
Clara's mother would have made
very little of them, but the girl from

girl and bave real affairs with
married men, just like in the novels.
With this, her fourth novel, Margaret
Drabble won the James Tait Black
memorial prize for fiction.
