Recenzii

The divine Spark is shining at her brightest . . . Pure delight
An outstanding novel . . . A FAR CRY FROM KENSINGTON has an effortless, translucent grasp of the spirit of the period
'Wonderfully entertaining - full of absurd, comical, engaging characters and written with typical wit, elegance and aplomb
One of Muriel Spark's most liberating, liberated and meditative novels. Spark is a writer who can take the meditative and make it mercurially funny, playful and mischievous
I can't help it. Sometimes the words just come out and I can't stop them. It feels like preaching the gospel. [large quote]


When publishing assistant and war widow Nancy Hawkins tells Hector Bartlett that he 'urinates frightful prose', the repercussions are swift. Losing not one, but two, much-sought-after literary jobs, Mrs Hawkins finds herself embroiled in a mystery involving anonymous letters, quack remedies and blackmail. Only years later, a far cry from Kensington, can she look back with a sharp and mischievous eye at the cost of telling the truth.

Introduced by Ali Smith.

'Funny, astringent, shrewd, her take on life is wonderfully bracing' William Boyd
