It's also brilliant on relationships, creativity and friendship (and the art world)' India Knight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Every now and again a book comes along that is such a bright joy, so true, so beautiful and moving. Alison is one of those books. I loved it' Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Alison is Posy Simmonds meets Edward Bawden - and really, what higher praise could there be?' Observer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Subtle and deliciously complicated, this is a big book on big subjects, but lightly, elegantly done. I loved it' Tessa Hadley, author of Free Love\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlison is newly married, barely twenty and struggling to find her place in the world. A chance encounter with an older artist upturns her life and she forsakes convention and her working-class Dorset roots for the thrumming art scene of London in the late seventies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the thrill of bohemian romance leads inevitably to disappointment, Alison begins to find her own path - through art, friendship and love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This book is a testament to the right to choose your own life' Jessica Andrews, author of Saltwater\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A delicious portrait of 80s and 90s London and a more universal tale of a working-class young woman making a life in a world that has not been designed for the likes of her. For all its effortlessness [...] Alison ends up carrying a great emotional heft. It's a lovely book, and I cried at the end.'
