The effect is a fine and well-chosen pileup of experiences that gather meaning and power.-Meg Wolitzer, New York Times Book ReviewClever Girl is a powerful exploration of family relationships and class in modern life, witnessed through the experiences of an Englishwoman named Stella. Unfolding in a series of snapshots, Tessa Hadleys involving and moving novel follows Stella from childhood, growing up with her single mother in a Bristol bedsit, into the murky waters of middle age. It is a story vivid in its immediacy and rich in drama-violent deaths, failed affairs, broken dreams, missed chances.Yet it is Hadleys observations of everyday life, her keen skill at capturing the ways men and women think and feel and relate to one another that elevate this tale into a beautiful and precisely drawn portrait of an everywoman, both extraordinary and ordinary (Minneapolis Star Tribune).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51607383736608,"sku":"NEW0062282883","price":16.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71i-d0oOIML.jpg?v=1778689299","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/clever-girl-a-powerful-and-moving-story-of-family-relationships-class-and-broken-dreams-in-modern-england-ps-paperback-0062282883","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
