Poker Face by Josie Barnard

Allie retired behind her pulled-down fringe and a poker face when her mother walked out leaving three children and their father in a remote house in Yorkshire. Surviving was one thing; learning how to live a little was harder.

'Sharp writing and a nose for hidden sadness lift this debut well about the soap standard' NEW STATESMAN AND SOCIETY 'The evocation of a child's anxiety and of her thankfulness for her father's reassuring presence is extremely moving.' FINANCIAL TIMES

Josie Barnard was born in 1963 in New England, moving to London to follow a career as a journalist, editor and radio broadcaster. She has contributed to a wide range of travel and literary books.
