A S Byatt

Opis

Yorkshire 1952. As the inhabitants of the area set about celebrating the accession of a new Queen, this is the story of an eccentric family fatefully divided. It is an entertaining tale, in which enlightenment and sexuality, Elizabethan drama and comedy intersect richly and unpredictably.

Large, complex, ambitious, humming with energy and ideas... A remarkable achievement Iris Murdoch
