Mary George of Allnorthover by Lavinia Greenlaw

Tom had to come back to Allnorthover. And there she was again. Mary George is a strange and lovely creature, a young woman who seems to be more important to others, than she is to herself. Her importance slowly leaks into her life as the layers of history and memory peel away.
"With perceptiveness and verve, Lavinia Greenlaw charts the travails of a spunky new heroine, Mary George, caught in the treacheries of and stagnancy of an English backwater in the 1970s" Edna O'Brien
