'Passionately, as other children collect shells, stamps or bus tickets, Judith collected kind words and kind looks dropped by Mother.'
Twelve-year-old Judith has been brought up in Europe by her mother, governess and highbrow uncles and aunts. She's had her hand held all the way through life - even though that hand has often been cold and distant. Now she's about to board a plane to England all alone to visit the father who abandoned her . . .
Although instead of despising her distant father, Judith finds she really likes him. He treats her as an adult, his side of the family seem to enjoy her company and she finally receives the appreciation she's always craved from her mother. But is he really as wonderful as he seems?
Carnegie Medal winning author Noel Streatfield navigates through complicated family issues in this perceptive coming of age novel, Judith.
