About this listen

In 1904, when she was six, Polly Flint went to live with her two holy aunts at the yellow house by the marsh - so close to the sea that it seemed to toss like a ship, so isolated that she might have been marooned on an island. And there she stayed for 81 years, while the century raged around her, while lamplight and Victorian order became chaos and nuclear dread. Crusoe's Daughter, ambitious, moving and wholly original, is her story.

Mixed feelings. An ok story that sort of goes nowhere and takes a long time to do it. Liked some of it, persisted in the hope things would spark up but it flatlined all the way.
