✦ Synopsis


**An evocative short story from an internationally acclaimed, prize-winning author.******Five-year-old Emily is in Menton, France, where her father is on a Katherine Mansfield Fellowship. Both touching and thoughtful, the story follows her emerging perception of the adult world, a world already foreign to her New Zealand eyes. With a nod to Mansfield's tone and imagery, and to her story 'The Dove's Nest', Grimshaw explores the protean nature of personality, shifting identities and masks.The accessible and endearing viewpoint of five-year-old Emily leads us into this clever story and its many layers.
