Review
Wonderful. Lively is brilliant and original . . . Every page of this book captures your attention * Daily Mail * Remarkable, richly enjoyable ... a captivating memoir -- Helen Dunmore * The Times * Engaging, curious, compelling, remarkable ... Any time spent with Penelope Lively is a joy * Observer * An ingenious memoir. The enchantment lies in its personal narrative: the portrait of a family and its progress through the twentieth century * Literary Review *

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'I thought that I would see if the private life of a house could be made to bear witness to the public traumas of a century'. Here Penelope Lively recalls Golsoncott, the country house in Somerset her grandparents bought in 1923. Through the sometimes strange, unfamiliar articles there - the gong stand, the picnic rug, the potted meat jars and bon bon dishes - she charts the social changes and transforming moments of the twentieth century. Changing attitudes to social class, the tension between town and country, how one learns to see the world: all are examined in this eloquent, fascinating memoir. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003249104
