Description
The Marble Staircase is an elegant tale of second chances and the ways in which the past can echo and inspire the present. Charlotte Moley's life has been marked by tradition and expectation, but when she inherits a ramshackle house from a flamboyant and larger-than-life woman named Mrs Gamalion, her world begins to change.
Set against the backdrop of Italy, where Charlotte had once found liberation during a transformative holiday, this novel explores the power of the past to shape our present. Rediscovered after being lost for decades, The Marble Staircase is a long-awaited publication that promises to appeal to readers with its nuanced understanding and humour.
Written in the late 1950s but never published, this book has been eagerly anticipated by fans of Elizabeth Fair's work. Now available from Dean Street Press, it joins six other novels in her oeuvre, offering a unique glimpse into the life and writing of a talented author whose understanding is deeper than some of her contemporaries.
