Περιγραφή για Angel: A Virago Modern Classic Elizabeth Taylor Virago Press Ltd

INTRODUCED BY HILARY MANTELElizabeth Taylor is finally being recognised as an important British author: an author of great subtlety, great compassion and great depth - Sarah WatersWriting stories that are extravagant and fanciful, fifteen-year old Angel retreats to a world of romance, escaping the drabness of provincial life. She knows she is different, that she is destined to become a feted authoress, owner of great riches and of Paradise House . . .After reading The Lady Irania, publishers Brace and Gilchrist are certain the novel will be a success, in spite of - perhaps because of - its overblown style. But they are curious as to who could have written such a book - an elderly lady, romanticising behind lace curtains? A mustachioed rogue? They were not expecting it to be the pale, serious teenage girl, sitting before them without a hint of irony in her soul. *\'Her stories remain with one, indelibly, as though they had been some turning-point in one\'s own experience\' Elizabeth Bowen \'No writer has described the English middle classes with more gently devastating accuracy\' Rebecca Abrams, Spectator Σελίδες: 336, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
