Description
The Catherine Wheel Text Classics by Elizabeth Harrower In 1950s London, a fierce wind blows in from Siberia, bringing with it a sense of unease and discomfort. For Clemency James, a young woman living in a bedsit, the cold weather is just one aspect of her bleak existence. She studies for the bar by correspondence and gives French lessons to make ends meet, but her life feels empty and unfulfilling. It's on one of these evenings that she meets Christian, a charismatic but troubled man with a penchant for wild promises. As they spend more time together, Clemency finds herself drawn into his world of debt and madness. But as the relationship deepens, it becomes clear that Christian is not what he seems. First published in 1960, The Catherine Wheel is a powerful portrayal of life in post-war London, where the façade of respectability hides dark secrets and desires.
