Description
Sara Monday looks back on her life from behind bars, recounting the highs and lows of her "grand days" and "coming down days". Her story is one of vivid characters, including her husband, Rozzie, and various lovers, each with their own unique presence. Through Sara's complex and multifaceted character, Joyce Cary has created a deeply realised portrait of human nature. Praise for Herself Surprised has been widespread, with many critics noting the profound understanding of human action that underlies the novel. With its acute balance and delicate insight, this is a remarkable story that offers a true and live portrayal of life's complexities. Written by Joyce Cary, author of Memoir of the Bobotes, this novel is a beautifully crafted exploration of family life, marriage, and divorce in the early 20th century.
