Summary

Sophie - a clever and charming young woman - is trying to get out from under her mother's thumb. She's 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 Sophie's attempt to seize a life for herself and a comic masterpiece with cutting observations and asides, 'The Halt During the Chase' discusses different forms of love, adulthood, marriage, insecurity and stifling British snobbery and classism.
