Description
The Road to Lichfield is a poignant and introspective novel by Penelope Lively, shortlisted for the Booker Prize. When Ann Linton leaves her family, she sets up camp in her father's house, where he is being cared for in a nursing home in Lichfield. As she spends her last weeks with him, she meets David Fielding, and their love brings her feelings into sharp focus.
This beautifully controlled novel explores the intricate weave of memory and identity, chance and consequence, and the complex relationships between generations. It is a subtle yet powerful study of the human experience, one that delves into the complexities of love and the past.
A deeply felt and thought-provoking read, The Road to Lichfield is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in character-driven fiction and the human condition.
