Description

June and her father stared for a moment into each other’s minds. He looked away first; and with a stab of joy June knew he was afraid of her and that she hated him.

 It is summer in small town Havenport. Protected from the world by her devoted mother, fifteen-year-old June is content and completely self-absorbed. Her biggest concern is where she will be holidaying this year.

When June’s father reappears after twelve years in Australia, she is thrust abruptly into a different life: new house, town, school. She soon suspects that she does not know the full story about her father, and when she meets Tony Townsend, he and his London life suddenly promise a glamorous and alluring alternative . . .

Other People is a compelling coming-of-age novel, told with Dale’s trademark wit, observation and canny dissection of relationships.
