Sophie's mother knows exactly how to needle her. Sophie's lover Philip knows how to stab her in the heart. She may be clever, charming and smart but is Sophie destined to be an eternal bit-part After a particularly callous throwaway remark from Philip, Sophie knows she must break away - from him, from her mother, from the snobbery of her Hampstead Heath upbringing. Being good and agreeable has brought nothing but loneliness; setting out alone might finally bring Sophie satisfaction. Back in print after many decades, this novel is a piece of dynamite, written by an extraordinary and little-known writer, the inimitable Rosemary Tonks.

ISBN10: 0811237451, ISBN13: 9780811237451, [publisher: New Directions Publishing Corporation, New York] Softcover Paperback. 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. Finally back in print, a remarkable, hilarious coming-of-age novel from the cult classic writer Rosemary Tonks.
