' Subtle and deliciously complicated' - Tessa Hadley Alison is newly married, barely twenty and struggling to find her place in the world. A chance encounter with an older artist upturns her life and she forsakes convention and her working-class Dorset roots for the thrumming art scene of London in the late seventies. As the thrill of bohemian romance leads inevitably to disappointment, Alison begins to find her own path - through art, friendship and love. ' This book is a testament to the right to choose your own life' - Jessica Andrews
' Subtle and deliciously complicated' - Tessa Hadley ' This book is a testament to the right to choose your own life. It is a tender, heartbreaking meditation on the bonds between women, the dazzle of the city, the struggle to become a female artist within the bounds of patriarchy, and the desire to make a mark on the world' ' - Jessica Andrews, author of Saltwater and Milk Teeth ' Praise for It' s Not What You Thought It Would Be: This brilliant debut collection explores the intensity of teenage ennui and female friendship, with a deft feel for its slights and tensions' - Rachel Cooke ' A quietly powerful book, and Stewart' s well chosen and often witty dialogue goes straight to the heart. Her artwork is filmic and beautiful' - Isabel Greenberg, author of Glass Town ' Her compassionate depictions of women alone, women together, will undoubtedly find welcoming audiences. ' - Shelf Awareness
