INTERMEDIATE FICTION
McKay, Hilary

Permanent Rose

(1) 4-6 In this third book, Saffron and her pal Sarah go on a search for the identity of Saffy's biological father; and Rose, pining for her American friend Tom, takes up shoplifting. Without a single Hallmark moment, McKay limns the nature of love in all its variety and hope. This is exemplary comic writing--buoyant, perceptive, subversive, and trailing a whiff of melancholy.
