Born into an affluent family, Bonnie, Tor and Ula have been left to the servants, to be raised in the feckless embrace of the cook and Nannie. Their father is dead. Their mother, a glamorous performer, is away entertaining the troops. When their infant brother falls ill and dies, the household disintegrates. In Tin Toys, Ula goes to Ireland with Cook, barely out of girlhood herself, and lands at the mansion of an enigmatic matriarch and her granddaughter. This first taste of female friendship is a bitter one. In Unicorn Sisters, the three sisters are sent to a shabby English boarding school where the pupils are pitted against an anarchic gang of East End refugees. A Bubble Garden finds Bonnie, Tor and Ula in Ireland, where they scrape a life in a crumbling, once-grand farmhouse, while their mother and her new husband are mired in their private traumas. A uniquely compelling and powerful coming-of-age classic.
