Więcej o książce
It's 1937. Two young girls. Mary, or Em as she now calls herself: just up from the country, shy and rather plain, all at sea in the big city. Harrie: sparkling, worldly wise, full of fun and very beautiful. Em is entranced and Harrie is generous. Generous with her friendship, her clothes, her lipstick, her confidences... Soon they are meeting at the bandstand for daring lunches, waiting up for each other coming from from dates, and sharing a world of private jokes. Gradually, and very painfully, this apparently sweet and innocent friendship develops into something approaching horror, as Ems's obsession with Harrie tears a perfect world apart. Written with great elegance and delicacy in a style reminiscent of Muriel Spark or Anita Brookner, Miss Harrie Elliot is Marian O'Neill's first novel.
