Krátký popis
INTRODUCED BY SARAH WATERS''Every one of her books is a treat and
this is my favourite, because of its wonderful cast of characters,
and because of the deftness with which Taylor''s narrative moves
between them ... A wonderful writer'' SARAH WATERSIn the faded
coastal village of Newby, everyone looks out for - and in on - each
other, and beneath the deceptively sleepy exterior, passions run
high. Beautiful divorcee Tory is secretly involved with her
neighbour, Robert, while his wife Beth, Tory''s best friend, is
consumed by the worlds she creates in her novels, oblivious to the
relationship developing next door. Their daughter Prudence is
aware, however, and is appalled by the treachery she observes. Mrs
Bracey, an invalid whose grasp on life is slipping, forever peers
from her window, constantly prodding her daughters for news of the
outside world. And Lily Wilson, a lonely young widow, is frightened
of her own home. Into their lives steps Bertram, a retired naval
officer with the unfortunate capacity to inflict lasting damage
while trying to do good.''Her stories remain with one, indelibly,
as though they had been some turning-point in one''s own
experience'' - ELIZABETH BOWEN''Always intelligent, often
subversive and never dull, Elizabeth Taylor is the thinking
person''s dangerous housewife. Her sophisticated prose combines
elegance, icy wit and freshness in a stimulating cocktail'' -
VALERIE MARTIN''A magnificent and underrated mid-20th-century
writer, the missing link between Jane Austen and John Updike'' -
