About the Author
The great-granddaughter of the poet Alice Meynell, Bernardine Bishop was the youngest witness in the Lady Chatterley trial in 1960. After writing two early novels, she taught in a London comprehensive school for ten years and then had a distinguished career as a psychotherapist, during which she brought up her two sons. Cancer forced her retirement in 2010 and she returned to her first love, fiction. Bernardine Bishop lived in London with her husband, until her death in July 2013.
Reviews
Graceful and haunting * Sunday Mirror *
Lovely, surprising... filled with life and optimism and a wicked sense of comedy... deeply satisfying. * The Times *
Unexpected and exciting * Daily Mail *
She excels in excavating single moments to powerfully show the profound in the prosaic. * Observer, Paperback of the Week *
The Street is a hugely enjoyable little book that is just a joy. * Irish Examiner *
