Riassunto:

A young Sydney woman moves to London to study law. She soon becomes involved with an attractive but shady aspiring actor who will turn her small world upside down. First published in 1960, this is Harrower's only novel set outside Australia. It has never before been available in the United States.

Recensione:

Harrower's third novel evokes both Victorian melodrama and contemporary realism...Rich and rewarding.’ Kirkus Reviews [starred review]

I love The Watch Tower, but I love The Catherine Wheel more. Like all the Harrower books, with their psychological mysteries, their droll humour, their brilliant language and ear for voices, The Catherine Wheel takes your hand from the first page and beckons you in.’ Ramona Koval

A brilliant achievement.’ Washington Post on The Watch Tower

First published in 1966, this book has traces of Patrick White mixed with the darkness of the brothers Grimm. It is a great novel due a rediscovery in the way that Stoner was championed by John McGahern.’ Irish Times on The Watch Tower
