Description
Penelope Fitzgerald's The Beginning of Spring is an historical novel that presents a life unknown to the author through a story of English emigres in pre-Revolutionary Russia.
Written with energy, passion and wit, this book explores the complexities of ordinary life in a larger canvas than some of Fitzgerald's other works. The result is a vivid and intimate picture of a world that is both startling and sad, yet also funny and full of complex worlds.
Like many of Fitzgerald's novels, The Beginning of Spring reveals a lightness of touch with the most serious matters, making it a compelling read for those interested in literary fiction.
