Tamar

"This sombre and distinguished book is as fine a piece of storytelling as you are likely to read this year." The Guardian "A complex and rewarding novel which is two stories in one. Peet moves effortlessly and skilfully between the 1940s and the present and the characters are strong and well-drawn. Terrific stuff." TES Teacher"
