An Experiment in Love Book

Hilary Mantel's seventh novel examines the pressures on women during the 1960s to excel--but not be too successful--in England's complex hierarchy of class and status. Pushed by a domineering mother, Carmel McBain climbs her way through the pecking order and ends up at London University as an acquiescent and undernourished teenager, achieving the status so desired by her mother, but too weak to make use of it or pose a threat to anyone. Though this is Carmel's story, it reflects on a generation of girls desiring the power of men, but fearful of abandoning what is expected and proper.Read More

  • Product Description

    Follows on from "A Change of Climate". Carmel, Karina and Julianne are escaping the dreary north for a London University hall of residence in 1970. Awaiting them is a winter of new preoccupations - sex and politics, food and fertility - and a pointless grotesque tragedy of their own.
