The Halt During the Chase
The Halt During the Chase | By Rosemary Tonks
Sophie’s mother knows exactly how to needle her. Sophie’s lover Philip knows how to stab her in the heart.
She may be clever, charming and smart but is Sophie destined to be an eternal bit-part?After a particularly callous throwaway remark from Philip, Sophie knows she must break away – from him, from her mother, from the snobbery of her Hampstead Heath upbringing. Being good and agreeable has brought nothing but loneliness; setting out alone might finally bring Sophie satisfaction.
Back in print after many decades, this novel is a piece of dynamite, written by an extraordinary and little-known writer, the inimitable Rosemary Tonks.
