A subtle and poignant story of growing up in the peculiar atmosphere of Pre-Raphaelitism. Allie is intelligent, studious, and wages an endless - and invariably unsuccessful - battle for her mother's approval and affection. Her mother Elizabeth is obsessed with the mission to feed the suffering and save the fallen, and raising her daughters for her is about rule-following, discipline, and asceticism in all things. Even when Allie receives a scholarship and becomes one of the first women to study medicine, her mother remains indifferent to her daughter's success. But Sarah Moss's novel about a woman's attempts to break free from the chains of inhibitions and attitudes is not so much a story about the birth of feminism as it is an immersion into the world of a family where love is buried too deep.
