The scene is wartime Auckland. In the strange old building the residents call Paddy's Puzzle, Clara Bentley awaits the arrival of Ambrose, her black lover who wears the uniform of the American Marines. She also waits for the bomb that might fall when the air raid siren sounds at night; she waits for visits from the strange inhabitants of the Puzzle, prostitutes, black marketeers, old Ma Hollis, who helps her keep her body and soul together, Janice who is a survivor in spite of herself, and a host of others; and she waits too for the culmination of her illness. But perhaps most significantly she awaits and dreads the arrival of Winnie, her older sister from Hamilton, to whom childhood and the Depression have left her inextricably linked. And she wonders how she can explain her life in the Puzzle. *Good condition - dust jacket has some wear and small rips near top of spine, inner pages very good condition * Heinmann Publishers - 1983 Edition * ISBN 0 86863 667 3 *
