First-ever new edition of Peter Marchant's only novel, originally published in London in 1960 Michael Joseph, Ltd. "A woman secretary, who bicycles every day from Ebury Street to F enchurch Street and back, has from childhood (unhappy—parents divorced) indulged in conversations with an imaginary pony called Bradshaw. Older and socially superior to the cockney girl typists at the office, she has held herself aloof from them, but feeling out of it when they discuss their boy friends or forthcoming marriages she is goaded into announcing that she herself is engaged—to Bradshaw. She keeps up the deception when she is befriended and later desired by a middle-aged insurance clerk."— The Daily Telegraph, London, April 14, 1960 Show more
