A review by bookpossum
Faith Fox by Jane Gardam

4.0

We all react to grief and shock in different ways. That is what this book deals with: often amusingly, but with a more serious current running below the light touch of the story. Faith is a baby whose mother dies giving birth to her, and the book covers the first three months of her life as she is cared for in a rather ramshackle way by a variety of people. She is only a bit player in the story, and yet is central to what is happening.

A lovely, touching story, beautifully told.
