    Soft Cover. Zustand: Very Good. Tim Bollinger, cover art. (illustrator). 205 pp, 8vo (8 3/8" H). "A blackbird dies in Olive's hands and the blood stains won't rub out. Even the cat can't eat the fish pie that her family says tastes like glue. And at the bottom of her garden the avocado tree is dying. How can Olive 'pull herself together' when reality overwhelms her everywhere she looks? By painting in the attic and teaching herself to smoke? Does she in fact have a choice? It is only from the rooftop that prospects seem serene. Lisa Greenwood's startling first novel is about the chill winter of self-discovery that begins when delusions fall away in the face of the demands of others. What happens when Olive's family fail to recognise her needs? Deadly accurate in its observations, the novel delights too with the whimsy of the author's overview. When life is at its most oppressive, it seems, there is still reason enough for hope." Interior - tiny crease at top corner of first half of pages, otherwise clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - very small bump to top corner of front cover, tiny bump at bottom corner, minor rubbing, small shallow bump on rear cover - migrates into last few pages.
