Book Description

Publication Date: July 1994

Monica Dickens's novel opens in a Juvenile court in London. One of the young offenders is a sixteen-year-old girl, Kate, who is described as being in need of care and protection. In the court is a girl only slightly older, Emma, daughter of the magistrate. From her experience of going around with a social worker on his calls she knows that adolescents and, more important, small children are daily subjected to neglect and brutality and that "care and protection" cannot be prescribed like National Health aspirin. She meets Kate again, by chance, in her Uncle's supermarket where she is learning the business from the bottom up. And between these two girls, from different backgrounds, with very different parents who have different personal problems, there springs up a friendship which is deep and, for a while at any rate, beyond misunderstanding. Each girl has her way to make in life, each has her love, hate, despair and hope, each the complications of parental control sapped by the inner knowledge of marriages that no longer work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost too sad, March 14, 2000

Lucy Fisher (London, n/a Great Britain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kate and Emma (Audio Cassette)

The wonderful Monica Dickens lays bare the pathetic career of reluctant teenage mother Kate. True-to-life details of the cold, damp and neglect suffered by her children are almost too much to bear. There's no happy ending, but an attempt to understand how she is unable to do any better.
