Synopsis
From the author of the Costa Best Novel-shortlisted 'The Elephant Keeper', a poignant imagining of Thomas Hardy's relationship with his last muse. A celebrated author, in the winter of his life, awaits a visit from a beautiful young actress - the leading lady in a staging of his most famous tragedy. But his wife is troubled. An anxious and sickly woman, she watches the growing intimacy between her husband and the young woman, and becomes tormented by the idea that they will betray her. In this delicately-wrought novel, Christopher Nicholson has been inspired by the true story of the first theatrical production of 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' to paint a subtle and moving portrait of life's little ironies, its disappointments and its desires.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. London, Fourth Estate Limited (an imprint of Harper Collins), 2014. Hard Cover Condition: Near Fine - small remainder mark on bottom edge. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 140 x 220 mm, 247 pages. From the author of the Costa Best Novel-shortlisted The Elephant Keeper , a poignant imagining of Thomas Hardy s relationship with his last muse. In the winter of 1924 the most celebrated English writer of the day, 84-year-old Thomas Hardy, was living at his Dorset home of Max Gate with his second wife, Florence. Aged 45 but in poor health, Florence came to suspect that Hardy was in the grip of a romantic infatuation. The woman in question was a beautiful local actress, 27-year-old Gertrude Bugler, who was playing Tess in the first dramatic adaptation of Hardy s most famous novel, Tess of the d Urbervilles . Inspired by these events, Winter is a brilliantly realised portrait of an old man and his imaginative life; the life that has brought him fame and wealth, but that condemns him to living lives he can t hope to lead, and reliving those he thought he once led. It is also, though, about the women who now surround him: the middle-aged, childless woman who thought she would find happiness as his handmaiden; and the young actress, with her youthful ambitions and desires, who came between them. Elegant While Nicholson s plot adds almost nothing to the historical facts, he lends the story depth by telling it from three different points of view A memorable portrait of a failed marriage. Novel of the Week, Mail on Sunday A gently elegiac tone permeates the novel, with its ravishing, appropriately Hardyesque sense of the intimate connection between landscape and emotion The conclusion is a touching celebration of life over art Telegraph Devotees of Thomas Hardy should find much to treasure in Nicholson s third novel Nicholson emulates Hardy s elegant style with remarkable acuity A wonderfully insightful and occasionally humorous portrait of marital unhappiness and the dynamics of desire and longing Sunday Times A wonderful novel, moving, gripping and illuminating. David Lodge Insightful Sunday Times Must Reads A passionate portrayal of love in its many guises Country Life Magazine. N° de réf. du vendeur 37
