'How deeply I envy any reader coming to her for the first time!' Elizabeth Jane Howard



*



A finely nuanced exploration of responsibility, snobbery and culture clash from one of the twentieth century's finest novelists.



When Amy is suddenly left widowed and alone while on holiday in Istanbul, Martha, an American traveller, comforts her and accompanies her back to England. Upon their return, however, Amy is ungratefully reluctant to maintain their relationship, recognising that, under any other circumstances, the two women would not be friends. But guilt is a hard taskmaster, and Martha has away of getting under one's skin ...

Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor (1912-1975) is increasingly recognised as one of the best British writers of the twentieth century.

She wrote her first book, At Mrs Lippincote's, during the war while her husband was in the Royal Air Force, and this was followed by eleven further novels and a children's book, Mossy Trotter.

Her acclaimed short stories appeared in publications including Vogue, the New Yorker and Harper's Bazaar.
