‘I ought to tell you at the beginning that I am not quite
normal having had a violent experience at the age of
nine'
Jessica Vye's 'violent experience' colors her
schooldays and her reaction to the world around her-a
confining world of Order Marks, wartime restrictions,
viyella dresses, nicely-restrained essays and dusty tea
shops. For Jessica she has been told that she is 'beyond all
possible doubt', a born writer. With her inability to
conform, her absolute compulsion to tell the truth and her
dedication to accurately noting her experiences, she knows
this anyway. But what she doesn't know is that the
experiences that sustain and enrich her burgeoning talent
will one day lead to a new-and entirely unexpected-reality.
