Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -'Witty, hilarious, astringent, devastating - her impeccable style can do anything and with seemingly effortless ease' Neel MukherjeeMuch to the disapproval of her friends, Kate Heron marries handsome, feckless Dermot, a man ten years her junior. When Charles, her old friend, visits with his his beautiful daughter, Kate watches happily as their two families are drawn together. Although she finds Charles' presence reassuringly familiar, slowly she becomes aware of subtle undercurrents that begin to disturb the calm surface of their friendship. Before long, even Kate cannot ignore the gathering storm . . .'Elizabeth Taylor has an eye as sharply all-seeing as her prose is elegant - even the humdrum becomes astonishing when told in language that always aims for descriptive integrity, without a cliché in sight' Daily Telegraph 'When you've finished In a Summer Season, you are totally fired up to read every book that Taylor ever wrote' Val Hennessy, Daily MailIntroduced by Elisabeth Russell Taylor.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -INTRODUCED BY VALERIE MARTIN'Elizabeth Taylor is finally being recognised as an important British author: an author of great subtlety, great compassion and great depth' SARAH WATERS'Witty, hilarious, astringent, devastating - her impeccable style can do anything and with such seemingly effortless ease' NEEL MUKHERJEE'Jane Austen, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Pym, Elizabeth Bowen - soul-sisters all' ANNE TYLERMrs Lippincote's house, with its mahogany furniture and yellowing photographys, stands as a reminder of all the certainties that have vanished with the advent of war. Temporarily, this is home for Julia, who has joined her husband Roddy at the behest of the RAF. Although she can accept the pomposities of service life, Julia's honesty and sense of humour prevent her from taking her role as seriously as her husband, that leader of men, might wish. But Julia, while she may be a most unsatisfactory officer's wife, is certainly no hypocrite.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Named by the Guardian as one of 'the 100 best novels,' and shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Mrs Palfrey At The Claremont is a humorous and compassionate look at friendship between an old woman and a young man from a 'magnificent.writer, the missing link between Jane Austen and John Updike' (David Baddiel, Independent)On a rainy Sunday in January, the recently widowed Mrs Palfrey arrives at the Claremont Hotel where she will spend her remaining days. Her fellow residents are magnificently eccentric and endlessly curious, living off crumbs of affection and snippets of gossip. Together, upper lips stiffened, they fight off their twin enemies: boredom and the Grim Reaper.Then one day Mrs Palfrey strikes up an unlikely friendship with an impoverished young writer, Ludo, who sees her as inspiration for his novel.'Elizabeth Taylor's exquisitely drawn character study of eccentricity in old age is a sharp and witty portrait of genteel postwar English life facing the changes taking shape in the 60s . . . Much of the reader's joy lies in the exquisite subtlety in Taylor's depiction of all the relationships, the sharp brevity of her wit, and the apparently effortless way the plot unfolds' -Robert McCrum 'the 100 best novels', Guardian 208 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Will Randall travels with a purpose, as well as an outrageous sense of fortune. In INDIAN SUMMER he found himself, by chance, having the extraordinary experience of helping slum schoolchildren put on a play to help save their school. In Botswana he was taken up by a headmaster to teach a class of six year olds at The River of Life school. They are football crazy and one of Will's jobs is to take them to play neighbouring (sometimes as much as 100 miles away) schools. Camping en-route or staying in farms and rural villages, often travelling by foot or dug-out punts, thousands of antelope, elephant, buffalo and zebra follow their progress. The sound of lions, leopards and hyenas become the soundtrack of their dreams. Against all the odds they find themselves preparing for the Grand Final of the season - the titanic clash with arch rivals, Victoria Falls Primary school.Both an endearing personal story and a travel book about a little-known but highly successful country, BOTSWANA TIME will win new fans for both Will Randall and the extraordinary country of Botswana. 288 pp. Englisch.
