Daisy Chain is a wholly delightful novel. It was, Maggie Ritchie says, “inspired by the eventful lives of the artists known as the Glasgow Girls” who attended the Glasgow School of Art before the First World War. Actually, only Lily, one of the two principal characters, girls we first meet as children in Kirkcudbright, goes there and becomes a painter. The other, Jeannie, is a dancer. Their backgrounds or circumstances are very different. Lily is the doctor’s daughter, Jeannie the daughter of who knows who – she will flee (chạy trốn) from home in her early teens when her mother’s bidie-in attempts to rape (cưỡng hiếp) her. She will then take refuge (ẩn nấu, lẩn trốn) with an old gypsy (dân gipxi ở Ấn Độ, con mụ tinh quái) dancer.
