Weidenfeld and Nicolson
A darkly humorous modern classic of Scottish literature about a doomed adolescent growing up in the mid-20th century
Immersed in a world of isolation and loneliness, Barker’s ill-fated young heroine Janet turns to literature, nature, and her Aunt Lila, who offers brief flashes of respite in an otherwise foreboding life.
People, birds, and beasts move through the background in a tale that is as rich and atmospheric as it is witty and mordant.
The family’s motto - Moriens sed Invictus (Dying but Unconquered) - is a well-suited epitaph for wild and courageous Janet, whose fierce determination to remain steadfastly herself makes her one of the most unforgettable protagonists in contemporary literature.
