The Pupil

Of the two pupil barristers in the prestigious chambers at 5 Caper Court, only one can win the coveted place of junior tenant at the end of the year. Penniless Anthony Cross is brilliant, but up against Edward Choke - wealthy, good-natured, not very bright, and also the head of chambers' nephew. Anthony has to cope with further complications - his ageing-hippy father, a fickle girlfriend, and a confusing relationship with charismatic fellow barrister Leo Davies. Fraser herself works as a lawyer so writes with authenticity and conviction.

‘A terrific debut novel... Interweaving two fascinating (and very different) love stories, she manages to keep us guessing (about everything) until the last page.’Midweek
