Friendless and withoutfamily, she's recently disentangled herself from a selfishand indifferent boyfriend and a cruel and indifferentmother. But she shares a quality common to BarbaraComyns's other heroines: a bracingly unsentimental abilityto carry on. Before too long, Bella has found not only ajob but a vocation; not only a place to live but a home anda makeshift family. As Comyns's novel progresses, thestory echoes and inverts the Brothers Grimm's macabretale The Juniper Tree.
