1957, the suburbs of south east London. Jean Swinney is a journalist on 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.

A new author for me, I was blown away by her writing - beautiful and evocative. This is a slow moving novel which allows us to get to know the characters, almost as they get to know themselves and develop.

In the late 50s, spinster Jean lives an unfulfilled life with her demanding mother. She works at a local newspaper and is dispatched to investigate an apparent virgin birth. Deeply skeptical at first, she ends up befriending the family in question and her life gets completely turned around by events.

Each character in this story is sensitively portrayed and despite its slowness at the beginning, it had me eagerly reading / listening on to find out what happens next.

Beautiful writing
