Ally (older sister of May in Night Waking), is intelligent, studious and engaged in an eternal - and losing - battle to gain her mother's approval and affection. Her mother, Elizabeth, is a religious zealot, keener on feeding the poor and saving prostitutes than on embracing the challenges of motherhood. Even when Ally wins a scholarship and is accepted as one of the first female students to read medicine in London, it still doesn't seem good enough. The first in a two-book sequence, Bodies of Light will propel Sarah Moss into the upper echelons of British novelists. It is a triumphant piece of historical fiction and a profoundly moving master class in characterisation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"U-turn Online Thrift Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48100526981307,"sku":"B0366","price":36.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/2483\/7819\/files\/IMG_4103_cropped.webp?v=1783947857","url":"https:\/\/shop.uturn.org.za\/products\/bodies-of-light-by-sarah-moss","provider":"U-turn Online Thrift Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
