内容説明

Andrea Ashworth's father stopped on the way home from work one night to take a leak. He slipped in some mud, hit his head on a rock and drowned face-down in a stream less than four inches deep. Andrea was five years old; her sister was three; her mother was twenty-five. This was the beginning of a new life for Andrea: a succession of stepfathers, often violent; a poverty-stricken itinerant childhood spent with various relations all over Manchester; a brief emigration to Canada. Her mother was prone to black depressions, and Andrea frequently found herself looking after her younger sister and step-sister. She learned to escape through reading anything she could get her hands on. Once, in a House on Fire is a remarkable memoir of a child's resistance to the cruelty of her surroundings. It is shocking in its immediacy, as well as for the clarity and beauty of Andrea Ashworth's prose. It is also a stunning evocation of the north of Engiand, and of the 1970s.

内容説明

Jan Hardy is 33, widowed and short of money, but determined to make a success of her life for her children's sake. She has managed against the odds to acquire a Jockey Club licence to train horses, and in the face of fierce competition from the traditional male, upper-class bastions of racing, she sets out to carve a career for herself. At the first big sale she attends in Ireland, her nervous uncertainty causes her to drop her guard and trust those who extend the hand of friendship when she is most vulnerable. Within the year, she has discovered who was offering her friendship and who wasn't.
