Su questo libro

L'autore:

Brian Moore, whom Graham Greene called his ‘favourite living novelist’, was born in Belfast in 1921. He emigrated to Canada in 1948, where he became a journalist and adopted Canadian citizenship. He spent some time in New York before settling in California.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Judith Hearne is a single woman of modest means, whose life is bereft of excitement until, on moving to a new boarding house, she meets James Madden. Lively and debonair, he has recently returned from New York, where he was 'in the hotel business right on Times Square'. Charmed by his seemingly amorous pursuit of her, Judith Hearne begins to dream of a brighter future – is she too late for love, or dare she let herself hope?

Brian Moore's extraordinary talent was immediately recognised when ' The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne', his debut novel, won the Author's Club First Novel Award. A highly-acclaimed film based on the novel was recently made, starring Maggie Smith.

"I can't think of another living male novelist who writes about women with such sympathy and understanding."
TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

"Remarkable... seldom in modern fiction has any character been revealed so completely or been made to seem so poignantly real."
NEW YORK TIMES

"An almost classic example of the power given by unity of theme... Mr Moore reveals all the qualities of a born novelist."
SUNDAY TIMES
