Kith and Kin - Softcover
Mara and Frankie are cousins and best friends, growing up in the stifling atmosphere of Swansea in the 1950s, amid a bickering yet close-knit extended family. But their passionate friendship comes under threat as they reach adolescence in the heady atmosphere of the Sixties a decade in which the conventions of family and kinship are overturned. Years later, as Mara begins to confront the questions surrounding Frankie's death, she is drawn back into their secret past and the struggles of a generation betrayed by its own values. Stevie Davies’ last novel, The Element of Water, was longlisted for the 2004 Booker and Orange Prizes.

Review:
'the overall warm clarity with which she animates these two soul-sisters experience.' - Alfred Hickling THE GUARDIAN 'Stevie Davies always writes well about the nastier moments of family life.' THE INDEPENDENT 'Davies draws her characters with a loving but honest eye, and despite the sense of impending tragedy, there is a thread of subtle humour running through the book.' - Zoe Green DAILY TELEGRAPH
