Recensione:

“To the North and The Death of the Heart are among the finest novels of her generation.” –V. S. Pritchett“A lavishness of imagination is brought to bear upon small moments, and the writing is of such intensity that a character is revealed in one expression, a way of life disclosed in a single scene.” –Peter Ackroyd, Sunday Times (London)“The worlds Elizabeth Bowen creates are so immediately absorbing . . . so fascinating, that one cannot help wanting more.” –Daily Telegraph
