About the Author
Nina Bawden (1925-2012) was one of Britain's best-loved writers for both adults and children. Several of her children's books - Carrie's War, a Phoenix Award winner;The Peppermint Pig, which won the Guardian Fiction Award; and Keeping Henry - have become contemporary classics. She wrote over forty novels, slightly more than half of which are for adults, and she was shortlisted for the 1987 Man Booker Prize for Circles of Deceit. She received the prestigious S T Dupont Golden Pen Award for a lifetime's contribution to literature in 2004, and in 2010 The Birds on the Trees was shortlisted for the Lost Booker of 1970.
From AudioFile
The three Boyd children are living with their mother and stepfather in a suburb of London, dealing with the issues that provide all children with the stumbling blocks of growing up. Joanna is wounded by love; Kate toys with the dramas of life, while Poll plays the detective. Their stepfather is a loving guide for them all...but why does no one tell them about their real father? Although the plot is simple, the action of the book would be well served by a narrator who is excited by its contents. Julia Sands has excellent diction. She sometimes changes her tone for different characters. But her reading is aimed more at expressing the sentence than remembering the story and pushing it forward to a climax. As she tells it, nothing much happens. J.P. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
