A faded coastal resort comes to life when Tory, recently divorced, begins a passionate affair with her neighbour Robert, the local doctor. Meanwhile Beth, Robert's wife and Tory's best friend, continues to churn out successful melodramatic novels, oblivious to the relationship developing next door. But daughter Prudence is aware, and is appalled by Robert and Tory's treachery.
The resolution of painful matters is conveyed with wit and compassion in this enchanting and devastatingly well-observed novel.

Recensione:
Every one of her books is a treat and this is my favourite, because of its wonderful cast of characters, and because of the deftness with which Taylor's narrative moves between them ... A wonderful writer (Sarah Waters)
Jane Austen, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Pym, Elizabeth Bowen - soul-sisters all (Anne Tyler)
A wonderful novelist (Jilly Cooper)
An eye as sharply all-seeing as her prose-style is elegant - even the humdrum becomes astonishing (DAILY TELEGRAPH)

VIEW OF THE HARBOUR
Da:
Valutazione libreria
Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. The war over, retired naval officer Bertram comes to a quiet fishing village intending to paint. Curious, and with that strangely unfortunate capacity to inflict lasting damage while trying instead to do good, he begins putting his nose into every aspect of the picturesque backwater. There's a lot going on beneath the quiet surface: pretty divorcee, Tory, is painfully involved with the local doctor - who just happens to be married to her best friend, Beth. And Beth continues to churn out successful melodramatic novels, oblivious to the relationship developing next door. Meanwhile, Lily Wilson pins vain hopes on Bertram's careless kindness.
