Matters of text, language, and content are all considered equally in the commentary.

The Older Woman in Recent Fiction
ISBN: 9780786419005 / Angielski / Miękka / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

One strategy they share is placing an older female protagonist at the heart of the narrative, and this book investigates how she is...
