Quatrième de couverture
After just a year of close, loving marriage, Ruth has been widowed. Her beloved husband, Ben, has been killed in a tragic accident and Ruth is left, suddenly and totally bereft.
Unable to share her sorrow and grief with Ben's family, who are dealing with their pain in their own way, Ruth becomes increasingly isolated, burying herself in her cottage in the countryside as the seasons change around her. Only Ben's young brother Jo, is able to reach out beyond his own grief, to offer Ruth the compassion which might reclaim her from her own devastating unhappiness.
The result is a moving, lyrical exploration of love and loss, of grief and mourning, from a masterful writer.
'I love this wonderful book... Just read it' Jo Brand, BBC Radio 4, A Good Read
Présentation de l'éditeur
Ben is dead, Ruth is alive, widowed at 21 after only a year of close, loving marriage.
From this simple, everyday tragedy, Susan Hill has fashioned with an extraordinary blend of intensity and delicacy the story of a young woman suddenly and total bereft, isolated in her cottage as the seasons change the face of the countryside. The Various members of Ben`s mourning family react in their different ways but their attitudes towards the realities of life and death exclude Ruth. Only Jo, her dead husband`s 13 year old brother, possesses the calm, unselfish compassion which might help to reclaim her from her own devastating grief.
And so Ruth remembers the past and struggles into the future as the spring returns.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Jacket after a wallpaper design by William Morris (illustrateur). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed, spine slightly browned. Not price clipped (£2.25), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, contemporary newspaper review tipped in, overall a vg+ copy. 186pp. Susan Hill said of this book 'the events and characters in the novel are wholly invented. The time is not the present and the death was very different. But the emotions were real. They were mine and I could never have written the book if I had not experienced them. It is set in an unspecified past, but is probably somewhere between the end of the first World War in 1918, and the beginning of the Second in 1939'. N° de réf. du vendeur 004857

This copy still has its publisher's promotional band. Laid in is a cutting from The Times 24/1/74 with a review of this title International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Set in a rural English village, In the Springtime of the Year is an astonishingly acute novel built around young Ruth Bryce's struggle to deal with the sudden and accidental death of her husband, Ben. Suddenly alone, Ruth must cope not only with Ben's death but also with his family who view her with suspicion and hostility. Her sole companion is Ben's fourteen-year-old brother who understands Ruth's quiet determination to emerge from this tragedy with her integrity and independence intact. A young woman's ability to collect herself, by herself, in the face of oppressive circumstances, is the force behind this novel. Told in a voice that is both honest and unsparing, it is an important addition to the oeuvre of a writer of real scope and power. Ref YY 6. N° de réf. du vendeur 034150
