Small Pleasures Clare Chambers by Clare Chambers 9780063094727, 006309472X, B08R3VGDFY instant download after payment.

In the best tradition of Tessa Hadley, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Ann Patchett - an astonishing, keenly observed period piece about an ordinary British woman in the 1950s whose dutiful life takes a sudden turn into a pitched battle between propriety and unexpected passion. 

"Chambers' eye for undemonstrative details achieves a Larkin-esque lucidity."  -  The Guardian 

1957, the suburbs of South East London. Jean Swinney is a journalist from a local paper, trapped in a life of duty and disappointment from which there is no likelihood of escape. When a young woman, Gretchen Tilbury, contacts the paper to claim that her daughter is the result of a virgin birth, it is down to Jean to discover whether she is a miracle or a fraud. 

As the investigation turns her quiet life inside out, Jean is suddenly given an unexpected chance at friendship, love and - possibly - happiness. But there will, inevitably, be a price to pay. 

"A very fine book... It's witty and sharp and reads like something by Barbara Pym or Anita Brookner, without ever feeling like a pastiche."  - David Nicholls 

Both a mystery and a love story, Small Pleasures is a quintessentially British novel in the style of The Remains of the Day, about the conflict between personal fulfilment and duty; a novel that celebrates the beauty and potential for joy in all things plain and unfashionable.

"Remarkable... Small Pleasures is no small pleasure."  -  The Times
