Product Description

Hamilton Spectator

"A Perfect Gentle Knight shows Pearson at her best: Great writing in a great and gritty tale, told with realism and compassion."

Book Description

Kit Pearson's long-awaited new novel tells the story of the five Bell children, each of them coping in various ways in the aftermath of their mother's death. Set in the 1950s and seen through the perspective of the middle child, 11-year-old Corrie, Pearson's story illustrates how a rich fantasy life both helps and hinders children trying to cope with loss, loneliness, and growing up.While elder sister Roz is growing up and out of the desire for fantasy games, eldest brother Sebastian, who fancies himself Sir Lancelot in their Round Table game, continues to need them as much as ever, creating tension in the family. Corrie becomes concerned and worries that Sebastian may have lost his grip on reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars accomplished, Nov 6 2007

By	John Burns "Author of Runnerland, a novel for... (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Kit Pearson is such an accomplished writer that even if A Perfect Gentle Knight didn't brim with surprising detail and events, her perfect grasp of child psyches would make it a page-turner. It's 1957 and the six Bell children are coping with their mother's death by falling deeper and deeper into the family game of pretend Camelot. But playing and healing are two different things, particularly for 11-year-old protagonist Corrie. The inevitable bruises of growing up are especially painful to witness here, as are the deep losses of childhood.
