Through the house's colourful rooms and unruly garden flits nine-year-old Daphne - dark, teasing, slippery as mercury, more sprite than boy or girl. From the moment their worlds collide, Ralph is consumed by an obsession to make Daphne his.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Ralph is twenty-five and Daphne is only a child, and even in the bohemian abandon of 1970s London their fast-burgeoning relationship must be kept a secret. It is not until years later that Daphne is forced to confront\u003cbr\u003ethe truth of her own childhood - and an act of violence that has lain hidden for decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePutney is a bold, thought-provoking novel about the moral lines we tread, the stories we tell ourselves and the memories that play themselves out again and again, like snatches of song.","brand":"Zinovieff, Sofka","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":48156743663955,"sku":"9781408895757","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47786214687059,"sku":"XV81408895757","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":48156743631187,"sku":"XG81408895757","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/zinovieff-sofka-sofka-zinovieff-putney-2018-hardback-60105375646035.jpg?v=1732004045","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/sofka-zinovieff-putney-2018-hardback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
