Recenzii

Funny and exact...you can't help cheering, enjoying, wanting more. SPECTATOR The pattern of THE SUMMER AFTER THE FUNERAL, like that of an Iris Murdoch satires, is as intricate and delicate as a mazurka... To enjoy the full impact of this marvellously entertaining book one cannot afford to skip a single word. TLS Extraordinary... Mrs Gardam is a writer of original spirit, her observations acute and funny/sad. GUARDIAN Jane Gardam to me is everything that's right about contemporary fiction...there's nothing more difficult than trying to catch a mood and I think she does that to perfection. Margaret Foster

Notă biografică

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The flag that is shown, literally and metaphorically, by these characters is always the Union Jack. Gardam's stories are acutely observed social commentaries on Englishness, its weaknesses and its illusions.
