Sophiea clever and charming young womanis trying to get out from under her mothers thumb. Shes in love with her childhood friend Philip (pragmatic, attractive, a bit of a bore), but she often worries that she loves him too much for her own good, and that he might only be another thumb to crawl under. Both a sincere bildungsroman of Sophies attempt to seize a life for herself and a comic masterpiece with cutting observations and asides, The Halt During the Chase is flutteringly alive as it discusses different forms of love, adulthood (Isnt buying new lampshades a form of slow death?), marriage, insecurity, and stifling British snobbery and classism. Sophies voice, fueled by Tonkss acidic narration, evolves from thrashing about in various traps into a triumphant, croaky-throated liberation song.
