I loved working on this cover for vintage Classics UK.
PURE JULIET - Stella Gibbons
While Stella Gibbons was celebrated for her beloved bestseller Cold Comfort Farm, the manuscript for Pure Juliet lay unseen and forgotten until it was brought to light by her family in 2014, and it is published this week for the first time by Vintage Classics.
No one knows what to make of Juliet Slater, not even her mother. Clothes, boys, school, friends, the change in seasons and what other people think - none of this matters to Juliet. She spends her time in her room with incomprehensible mathematical textbooks, her mind voyaging in strange seas of thought alone. Is she a genius? It might take the rest of her life to find out.
This is a treat for fans of this witty, insightful and always surprising author.
