PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Annabel Abbs lives in London with her husband and four children. Her bestselling debut novel, The Joyce Girl, won the Impress Prize for New Writers and was longlisted for the Bath Novel Award, the Waverley Good Read Award and the Caledonia Novel Award.
A hugely impressive debut. Annabel Abbs has brought to life an extraordinary cast of characters - Joyce, Beckett et al. - and painted their rackety, bohemian world in vivid technicolour. - The Observer Here is a powerful portrait of a young woman yearning to be an artist, whose passion for life and rage at being unable to fulfil her talent burns from the pages. - The Guardian Funny, clever, tragic, poignant - The Australian Women's Weekly This intimate and absolutely splendid novel must top my recommendations as the best 20th-century fiction of the year - Historical Novel Society
