Crusoe's Daughter
Autor Jane Gardamen Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2012
In 1904, six-year-old Polly Flint is sent by her sea captain father to live with her two holy aunts in a house by the sea on England's northeast coast. The house is so close to the sea it seems to toss like a ship, and so isolated, she might be marooned on an island.
There Polly lives for 81 years, while the century rages around her and Victorian order becomes nuclear dread. Through it all, she returns again and again to the story of Robinson Crusoe, who, marooned like her, fends off the madness of isolation with imagination.

Recenzii
She does fiction as it should be done, with confidence and insight
In 1904, when she was six, Polly Flint went to live with her two holy aunts at the yellow house by the marsh - so close to the sea that it seemed to toss like a ship, so isolated that she might have been marooned on an island. And there she stayed for eighty-one years, while the century raged around her, while lamplight and Victorian order became chaos and nuclear dred. Crusoe's Daughter, ambitious, moving and wholly original, is her story.
'Jane Gardam is at her most characteristic and briliant' Victoria Glendinning, Sunday Times
'Engaging and witty' Observer
'Touching, terribly sad, funny: a smashing novel' The Times
'Fresh and vivid . . . comic, touching, eccentric' TLS
