BücherAngebote / Angebote:
Moving backwards in time from 1950 to 1926, The Long View paints an unusually revealing portrait of a marriage. It traces the lives of Antonia and Conrad Fleming through the eyes of Antonia, as she looks back on her married life and unravels her choices - good and bad - and the motivations behind them . . .An uncannily authentic take on matrimony from the long view - from both the outside in and present to past - Antonia and Conrad Fleming's story is as extraordinary as it is prosaic, as gut-wrenching as it is exhilarating. 'A beautifully written and richly perceptive novel. Miss Howard has a gift for epigrammatic dialogue, she cuts to the heart of motive or relationship with delicate precision' Daily Telegraph'When I read The Long View . . . I realized that I would never write anything of such subtlety and penetration: there was no point in even hoping to write a novel if this was the standard of excellence' Andrew Brown, Guardian
