Description
Elizabeth Bowen's accessible feminist take on the Irish aristocracy is presented in this edition. Set against the backdrop of turmoil in Ireland, the story focuses on the lives of those within the 'Big House', where social events and relationships continue largely unaffected by the external conflict. The narrative explores the experiences of a young girl struggling for her own freedom, as the situation outside becomes increasingly volatile. The novel's themes of family life, women's roles, and the complexities of social class are woven together to create a nuanced portrayal of life in Ireland during this period. With an introduction by Victoria Glendinning, this edition provides a unique insight into Bowen's work. Published in 1998, this new edition features 206 pages and is available in paperback.
