Mortmain by Judy Corbalis
In Castletown, New Zealand, the stifling culture of 'the correct way to behave' crushes the unorthodox like a dead hand. Each family is dominated by a stern patriarch, and once a week the patriarchs meet to play three-handed chess.
Judy Corbalis was born and brought up in New Zealand. She later moved to London with her husband the admired sculptor Phillip King, who served as President of the Royal Academy. She trained at RADA, and has worked in TV and fringe and community theatre. Her children's books have been published by Deutsch, Hodder and Scholastic - children love them for their humour and the fact that no character behaves as expected. Judy Corbalis is a graduate of the famous MA course for creative writing at the university of East Anglia. Her novels include Mortmain.
