Baby Blue

BABY BLUE picks up Mia's story (begun in BLUE MOON) just after the birth of her baby. Mia is sixteen now, and still living with Dad, although this relationship becomes increasingly under strain. Not only is Mia having to work out the complicated emotional and practical implications of being a mother when she herself is still a child, with huge emotional needs of her own, she is also having to negotiate new relationships with the adults and young people around her.

Reviews

A moving story, a condemnation of the way we treat our old friends and loves, a rage against the dying of the light

—— Philip Howard , The Times

A novel painfully full of feeling, and totally credible-the passion shines through

—— Isabel Quigly , Financial Times

A memorably touching story about the pressures on a family trying to do their best... A wonderfully accurate, powerful and even funny portrait

—— Graham Lord , Sunday Express

It is close to life in a way we hardly expect a novel to be, and finally very moving

—— Hilary Mantel , Daily Telegraph

An extremely skilful and angry novel...beautifully written

—— Anita Brookner , Spectator
