Guard Your Daughters by Diana Tutton

The Harvey sisters are unconventional, unschooled and oddly named. They have been brought up at quite some distance from the rest of the world. Living with their famous detective writer father, and their fragile mother, they have been one another’s friends – with hardly any experience of people outside their family.

Guard Your Daughters was a bestseller when first published, and as a Book of the Month Choice it sold 200,000 copies. John Betjeman in the Daily Telegraph called it ‘a really talented first novel, a thoroughly “nice” book full of likeable characters. The excellence of this story lies in the depth behind the flashing surface.’
