Product Description
Product Description
Set in London during the 1920s, this novel centres on the lives of two young women, the recently widowed Cecilia Summers and her sister-in-law Emmeline.
From the Back Cover
Set in London during the twenties, To the North centres on the lives of two young women, the recently widowed Cecilia Summers and her sister-in-law Emmeline.
Cecilia, capricious and unable to really love anyone, moves reluctantly towards a second marriage to the kind, passionless Julian Tower. Emmeline, gentle but independent, is surprised to find the calm tenor of her life disturbed by her attraction to the predatory Mark Linkwater. At first she is able to accept their love affair on Mark's terms but, in the pain of misunderstanding, Emmeline reveals her vulnerability in a violent and tragic act.
'A lavishness of imagination is brought to bear upon small moments, and the writing is of such intensity that a character is revealed in one expression, a way of life disclosed in a single scene' Peter Ackroyd, Sunday Times
'To the North and The Death of the Heart are among the finest novels of her generation' V.S. Pritchett
