Description

Angela Carter's Wise Children is a witty and bawdy novel that explores the complex relationships within two theatrical families, the Hazards and the Chances. With a rich history spanning over a century of show business, the story is populated with a multitude of sets of twins and mistaken identities, evoking the spirit of Shakespeare's comedies. The novel celebrates the magic of the stage and the power of performance, while also delving into the intricacies of family dynamics and the blurred lines between reality and illusion. Carter's writing is known for its sharp wit and humor, making this a compelling read for those interested in literary fiction and the world of theatre. First published in 1992, Wise Children is a unique and engaging tale that will appeal to readers looking for a thought-provoking and entertaining read.
