Synopsis
In this book Fiona Kidman explores self-discovery achieved through, and often in spite of, social and family ties. Clara’s struggle to assert her independence against a background of oppression and despair is mirrored in the turmoil that lies beneath the blacked-out Auckland. This novel of rare beauty and uncommon insight is one no reader will ever forget.
The scene is Auckland during the Second World War. In the warrenlike old tenement the residents call Paddy’s Puzzle, Clara Bentley awaits the arrival of Ambrose, her black lover, an American marine. She also waits for the bomb that might fall when the air raid siren sounds at night. She waits for visits from the strange inhabitants of the Puzzle―prostitutes; blackmarketeers; old Ma Hollis, who helps her keep body and soul together; and a host of others. She waits, too, for the culmination of an illness that has weakened her irremediably."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
