Opis

Jean Serjeant was a carefree country girl before the war, becoming a wise and trenchant old lady in the year 2020. Through this period, we follow her bruising experiences in marriage, her questioning of male truths and her adventures in motherhood, whilst finding the often unsatisfactory answers to life's questions.

Recenzje

None of Mr Barnes's previous work... has quite prepared us for the bewildering maturity of Staring at the Sun...it dazzles in depth Harpers & Queen
