| Description | Growing up in Jane Gardam's novels may be viewed as a negotiation of a bright and spirited child with adult authority. Three of Gardam's novels, Bilgewater (1976), God on the Rocks (1978) and Crusoe's Daughter (1985) are analysed to show the freedom of thought and expression the author gives her young characters through their witty, naughty or subversive replicas and unuttered remarks. |
