    Gardam's masterpiece, 2002-03-01 Comment: This novel is Jane Gardam's great novel, tackling her perennial themes of loneliness, love and literature. The solitary child brought up by eccentric maiden autnts who identifies so totally with Crusoe in his isolated state has only one brief experience of love, but it's searing. The War, the Holocaust and the survival of the human spirit are all encapsulated in this extraordinarily funny and moving novel. Buy it.
