A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Large, complex, ambitious, humming with energy and ideas... A remarkable achievement" (Iris Murdoch)

"Comic, well plotted, immensely touching... Gaudy excitement and splendour" (The Times)

"One to be reckoned with. It cannot be glibly praised or readily dismissed; it is, massively, there, and demands serious consideration" (Financial Times)

"An ambitious novel [whose] narrative everywhere displays knowledge and intelligence" (Times Literary Supplement)

Présentation de l'éditeur

Set in Yorkshire in 1952 as the inhabitants of the area set about celebrating the accession of a new Queen, this is the tale of a brilliant and eccentric family fatefully divided.

The Virgin in the Garden is a wonderfully entertaining novel, in which enlightenment and sexuality, Elizabethan drama and comedy intersect richly and unpredictably. It is the first novel to feature Frederica Potter, and the beginning of a triumphant quartet of novels.
