Clever Girl by Tessa Hadley tells the story of Stella, an ordinary Englishwoman whose life unfolds in snapshots in the novel, moving from the 60's to present day. Nothing extraordinary happens here, however it is Hadley's writing that elevates the ordinary to the extraordinary, deftly describing the ways in which Stella relates to the world and everyone around her.
A subtle, yet beautiful book.
