Items related to God On The Rocks
Seen through the eyes of a perceptive, precocious child, all the adults seem absurd. Margaret's POV is the simple voice of reason, and Lydia is her only ally in natural living. The rest have all been led astray by odd obsessions--love, power, self-sacrifice, a particular way of worshipping god. It's because they miss the common simplicity of life that they are constantly engaged in conflicts with one another, conflicts that are by turns funny, poignant, and heartbreaking. This is a domestic drama that delivers up as much tension as a murder mystery--what will happen when Marsh cracks, as Lydia knows is inevitable? What will happen when Elinor stops breastfeeding?

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. During one glorious summer between the wars, the realities of life and the sexual ritual dance of the adult world creep into the life of young Margaret Marsh. Her father, preaching the doctrine of the unsavoury Primal Saints; her mother, bitterly nostalgic for what might have been; Charles and Binkie, anchored in the past and a game of words; dying Mrs Frayling and Lydia the maid, given to the vulgar enjoyment of life; all contribute to Margaret's shattering moment of truth. And when the storm breaks, it is not only God who is on the rocks as the summer hurtles towards drama, tragedy, and a touch of farce. *A moving, Booker shortlisted story of a girl's coming of age, beautifully rejacketed for this reissue Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
