Media Reviews

Last in the Frost in May series, this delicate but powerful novel traces the descent of Clara Batchelor into madness . . . In many ways this is the most impressive of the series, with its bewilderingly honest portrayal of the breakdown of a woman and an artist. Clara's story is partly drawn from White's own collapse, her relationship with Catholicism and the influence of her adored but repressive father * GUARDIAN *
An extraordinarily perceptive and yet detached account of the descent into madness * GOOD HOUSEKEEPING *
Antonia White's true brilliance as a writer emerges * NEW STATESMAN *
