Passing On
Autor Penelope Livelyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 1990
Helen is fifty-two and Edward forty-nine when Dorothy, their mother, dies, ending her reign of terror and leaving them ill-equipped to deal with their lives. Timid, cautious and naive, Helen makes the charming Giles Carnaby, familiy solicitor, the object of a belated schoolgirl crush, while Edward, free to express his sexuality at last, finds it gets the better of him. Dorothy may be dead and buried, but her iron grip continues to hold them in its power.
'Passing Onis about the essential difficulty of being English, of coping with peculiarly English varieties of guilt, nostalgia, frustration and desire'Observer
'Lively is at her sharpest, alert to every conceivable irony' Jonathan Coe,Guardian
