Synopsis

"(Huth's) talent is entirely original." THE TIMES SUN CHILD is an exceptional book about a child's world. Emily has not yet reached the age of judgement. For her, normality consists of contentment and magic and there is no possibility of change in the seeming happiness of her parents. She loves them both dearly and her image of them is together - indivisible, laughing, dancing, making every day scintillate with life. When change does come, Emily is a helpless spectator, confused by the puzzle of ill-fitting events. With both poignant humour and ruthless honesty, Angela Huth has captured the inconsistencies of adult behaviour, as seen through the eyes of a child who watches and suffers from them. The situation - an all too familiar one - is treated with both poignant humour and ruthless honesty.

From AudioFile:

To Emily, life is simple and rich; she has admirable parents, a comfortable country life and well-established habits and patterns. When the apparent happiness of her parents begins to come apart, change and understanding do not come easily. Angela Huth narrates her story in a calm, introspective manner. The scratchiness of her voice smooths out a bit as she assumes the persona of the characters. She maintains an even pace throughout and provides insight into a child's perspective on the types of changes that come when parents find they are no longer bound together. J.E.M.
