Details
Who would have thought that anything could have been made of the calf-loves and sparring friendships of a group of grammar-school boys and girls in wartime Llandudno?
And who could have imagined that such an unlikely theme could have produced a novel as delicately conceived, as penetratingly true, and as deeply moving as this? It makes the usual run of books about teenagers appear unutterably false and vulgar.
Jampot Smith is a novel that captures with such remarkable fidelity the no-man's-land of the emotions peopled by sixteen and seventeen-year-olds. In Jampot Smith Jeremy Brooks recaptures the fastidiousness and privacy of the very young.
